Tony Schiavone wears many hats in AEW as an announcer, interviewer, host, and backstage presence helping with production and talent.
AEW has increased its schedule over the summer with the addition of Collision and have started to add more pay-per-view events to their schedule.
Schiavone has enjoyed the travel, but has been told he doesn't have to be at every show if he doesn't want.
"This lifestyle hasn’t bit me in the ass yet, Conrad [Conrad Thompson], and I don’t think it will. The fact that you see me at times on Collision is because I told Tony [Tony Khan], ‘I’m going to go to every show.’ Some guys go to some shows, and some guys don’t. Same with the people backstage. Some guys go, and some guys don’t. Tony told me, he said, ‘You don't have to come to every show.’ I said, ‘Yeah, but I made a commitment to you, and I made a commitment to this company. So I’m gonna be at every show. It’s worth it. I have fun on Saturdays, I really do. I enjoy Saturdays a lot. I enjoy seeing guys that I don’t see on Wednesdays. We have two different backstage crews that do pre-tapes, and I enjoy working with them. So it’s good stuff," Schiavone said on What Happened When.
It's been a busy week for AEW as the company ran AEW All In from Wembley Stadium in London, England on August 27 and then AEW Dynamite (Wednesday), AEW Collision (Saturday), and will run AEW All Out in Chicago on Sunday.
