Tony Khan joins Battle to talk about listening to the AEW audience, staying flexible with booking plans, and why a rigid approach doesn’t work.

Ahead of Full Gear, Tony discusses Will Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher, answers whether Blood & Guts could become its own pay-per-view, and explains why AEW’s tributes to PAC and Brodie Lee were about honoring their lives rather than advancing storylines and the Jaguars’ push to win now without giving up their future.
