On an episode of “AEW Unrestricted,” President and CEO of AEW, Tony Khan, joined Aubrey Edwards and Tony Schiavone to talk about Sunday’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Tony announced that the company will hold their first women’s Casino Battle Royale at the All Out PPV sometime later this year. He said,

“We had to do it at All Out, but it’s an important part of AEW, great to have it now back at Double or Nothing. And I look forward to the women’s Casino Battle Royale at All Out, which is going to also be returning, really excited about that.” (H/t Wrestle Inc. for transcriptions)

On the subject of Casino Battle Royale, Tony assured a future match for a forthcoming PPV. Khan stated that he’s glad they have the Casino Battle Royale back for Double or Nothing. Tony divulged that the Casino Battle Royal is a special part of the card, and last year, they weren’t able to do it because of the pandemic.

Khan regrets not being able to bring in enough wrestlers to do a good match. He really wanted to do it this year. “When we did finally do the Casino Battle Royale at All Out, it was a great match,” concluded Tony.

AEW amid the pandemic

In another interview, Tony revealed that they were doing their best business they had ever done. But with the pandemic hitting, they went from having their full roster to having less than 30% of them available.

Khan said that in the month of April, only 29% of their roster appeared on TV. The rest, which did not appear, included a lot of the biggest stars in the company.

With that 29% of the roster, they fought on. They did win the demo every week, but the ratings were tighter than he wanted.
