Khan emphasized AEW's strong viewership in the UK before he stated that the announcement about the company's London show is coming soon, as the major details are coming into place.
"That announcement about AEW in London, it’s coming very very soon. I don’t want to say exactly when, but believe me, it’ll be very, very soon. The fact is we’re getting closer and closer on all of the details you mentioned (dates, venues etc). There are a lot of details to work out on such a major event as this, but all of the major details are coming into place. We’re very close to having all of the information ready to announce so it’s come together very quickly. People are going to be very excited when they hear about this," Khan said.
Khan continued by stating that the London event will be special; he shared his belief that it could be one of the greatest shows in AEW history. He again brought up his love for London and noted that bringing AEW there will feel like coming home.
“It’s going to be a really special event, I think it can be one of the greatest events in AEW’s history, certainly befitting of our debut in London, which is a city that I love so much, it is so close to my heart. For everybody there, all the wrestling fans there. I cannot wait to do it, and it feels like coming home to me, so I’m very excited about it," Khan said.
