Tony Khan: “We’ll Absolutely See The Women Of AEW Lock Up In Blood & Guts Someday Again”

Praise from Tony Khan for the women’s Blood & Guts match.

For the first time, All Elite Wrestling’s women’s division had a Blood & Guts match. The final result saw the team of Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Thekla, Megan Bayne, Marina Shafir, and Mercedes Moné defeat Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, Harley Cameron, ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm, and Mina Shirakawa.

AEW President Tony Khan spoke highly of the match while on the AEW Full Gear media call. He stated that there will ‘absolutely’ be another women’s Blood & Guts match.

“Yeah, we’ll absolutely see the women of AEW lock up in Blood & Guts someday again, and the women in AEW absolutely knocked it out of the park. As with all of our Blood & Guts matches, they’re very hard-hitting encounters and I’m really proud of everybody involved, and very excited. It was a huge success for everybody, and I’m grateful that there were not more serious injuries than we had, and the reception was fantastic. The network was so happy and to have TBS and HBO Max happy with the show, that’s the most important thing in my opinion, beyond the safety of the wrestlers and fans and putting on a good, safe event, the most important thing we can do, after we secure the safety of everybody at the show is to have the network be happy with the quality of it and the execution of it and they were thrilled with it, so that was awesome… It seems like it’s something the wrestling fans really enjoyed which is also really important to us. So, I was really pleased with it and I think everyone in AEW was thrilled with it… Because I thought the women’s Blood & Guts was tremendous and I had spent a lot of time with them myself and they worked really hard on it and I met with both teams, extensively, and had a lot of great things to say about how hard they worked and prepared for this, and I’m very proud of everybody in AEW and in particular, I thought the women in Blood & Guts, they did a great job…”

Elsewhere in the AEW women’s division, the company is set to crown the first-ever Women’s World Tag Team Champions. The four teams remaining in the tournament are listed as follows:

• Julia Hart & Skye Blue
• Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron
• ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa
