Tony Khan really appreciates the fans of the tri-state area on the East Coast. Even though WWE also has a market in NY/NJ, AEW has had huge financial successes with running shows in the area. Over $1 million for Grand Slam, closing in on the same for FG. #AEWFullGear

Tony Khan says the AEW Eliminator tournament has been impacted by injury, as they weren't able to clear Ricky Starks to wrestle last week. The winner of Starks/Archer will go on to face Brian Cage on #AEWFullGear Zero Hour, and then to the finals with Ethan Page.

Tony Khan on interim championship, Toni Storm, and Thunder Rosa:

Still considering weighing the pros and cons of vacating Thunder with her injury, says crowning a lineal champion makes sense. Still weighing options with regards to both. #AEWFullGear

Tony Khan: Saraya's been on a collision course with Britt Baker since she arrived. Is thrilled that she's 100% cleared to wrestle & is excited to see the homegrown star of Britt Baker against Saraya coming in from national prominence.

Says this is a theme for FG. #AEWFullGear

Tony Khan puts over @RealBrittBaker as someone who's gone to war for herself, for AEW, and for her friends. She's absolutely been one of AEW's homegrown stars, she's bled for it, she's broken bones for it, and she still comes out strong and perseveres. #AEWFullGear

Tony Khan on creative production with video packages. He likes keeping things in the ring as much as possible, finding a lot of inspiration in the old Nitro episodes.

In a Go-Home show, you want to showcase a lot of video packages and storytelling to build to a PPV.#AEWFullGear

Tony Khan says this week's Dynamite is a big push for the PPV, and is curious to see how the numbers/ratings shape up, especially with so much story driven video packages and vignettes to build to the PPV.#AEWFullGear

Tony Khan tells me that Nyla & Jade came about in a funny way. He blames Tony Schiavone for planting the for Nyla, he loves the way Nyla has run with it. Great way to showcase her personality. He calls @NylaRoseBeast "Champ", and she took the ball and ran with it. #AEWFullGear
