During the ROH Final Battle media scrum, AEW President, Tony Khan addressed the so-called constant attack that AEW is under, and Khan, as always, didn’t hold back:

“To be AEW is to be under constant attack. You do a great show and the next day somebody’s saying something negative. You do five great shows in a row, somebody says something negative. You break the ticket record for the most tickets ever sold for a wrestling show in the history of the world and somebody has something bad to say about it. At this point, I don’t worry about it. We just need to go out and do great shows week after week like we did. We were the number one show on cable this week on Wednesday. We beat every single show on TV on Wednesday out of hundreds and hundreds of shows across hundreds of networks. And if we continue doing it, everybody here’s going to be in a good position."

Khan didn’t just stop there, as he continued his rant by adding:

“You can have a great day in the business, like, do the number one show, and people try and tell you you didn't do something great. Or you can break the world record for the most tickets ever sold to any wrestling show ever and have this massive, huge success on pay-per-view and just hit a home run in. The wrestling's great and everything's great, and still people are trying to tell you there's some problem with it or some detrimental…”

Khan finished off by saying that people are “gunning for him and AEW”:

“To be AEW, no matter how good you do, there will be people coming for you, gunning for you. Because that’s what this is. There’s a reason that every single person who stepped into my position until now has gone out of business. I’m the only one left. Everybody who stepped up and put millions of dollars into this and done it week after week, and there’s no offseason, you do it 52 weeks a year, it’s a fight. And that’s a credit to the fans. I know what it is to be a wrestling fan 52 weeks a year. It’s hard. But it’s also the most rewarding thing. That’s why you can’t get away from it for too long. That’s why we always come back to it. We’re addicted and it’s worth fighting.”

Unfortunately, Khan’s rant overshadowed virtually everything on the ROH Final Battle match card, as all fans and critics could focus on was Khan’s endless clap-back at his naysayers.
