Tony Khan comments on WWE running a live event in the same city against AEW Worlds End 2024

The 2024 AEW Worlds End PPV event took place in Orlando, FL at the Addition Financial Arena. On the same night, WWE held a house show at Orlando’s Kia Center. While speaking to media after Worlds End, AEW President Tony Khan commented on the two shows going against each other…

“It’s great for the city of Orlando with two major pro wrestling events happening on the same night. There were thousands and thousands of fans at both shows. We had a capacity crowd here. It was so great being here at UCF. This arena has been a tremendous host, and for us and the community, it was great to have such amazing support from the fans.

It shows how strong worldwide pro wrestling, particularly here in the United States, is to have in one major American city with two promotions running head-to-head on the same night, to have two great crowds. I know our fans here were awesome, and it was a great show tonight, thanks to the Orlando fans. They were tremendous.” (quote courtesy of Colin Tessier)
