Tony Khan would have been fired from AEW for one major reason, veteran claims

AEW's latest special television event from earlier this week witnessed a huge boost in viewership ratings. Despite the overall growth of the Tony Khan-led promotion, wrestling veteran Disco Inferno has sounded off against the company's Head of Creative over his supposed shortcomings.

All Elite Wrestling kicked off a busy month this June by bringing back one of its original television programs, Fyter Fest, and then staging a new four-hour program, Summer Blockbuster, the following week. This past Wednesday, the company hosted yet another edition of its annual Grand Slam special, but for the very first time in Mexico. The show emanated from the legendary Arena Mexico, and featured several of the promotion's top stars in a variety of matches.

AEW Grand Slam Mexico notably witnessed a major boost in viewership ratings compared to figures from previous weeks. The company has also seen a general positive trend in recent weeks with respect to live audience attendance and fan responses to Tony Khan's booking. However, the All Elite CEO continues to court his share of criticism, as former wrestler Disco Inferno recently took to X/Twitter to take aim at TK, arguing that Khan would have been fired in light of the promotion's supposed decline in ticket sales and ratings compared to figures from years prior.

"Tony is the worst booker in history based on year over year data in ratings and attendance. If he had to answer to a boss he would have been fired a few years ago. Nobody with common sense can argue against this." - wrote Disco.
