Real reason Tony Khan has launched brand new AEW event

AEW recently announced that it is going to launch a brand new television special later this week. Now, the company’s head honcho Tony Khan has explained how this program was developed while appearing in an interview.

This past week, it was announced that this coming Wednesday All Elite Wrestling will be headed to North Charleston, SC for a three-hour block of programming comprising of Dynamite and Collision. Furthermore, the Jacksonville-based promotion revealed that this coming Saturday it will roll into the SoFi Center in Florida for another special edition of Collision, dubbed Fairway to Hell.

The aforementioned TV special is seemingly taking place at a venue with ties to the golfing world- indeed, golfing was featured in the promotional material for the upcoming episode. During his recent interview with Good Karma Wrestling, Tony Khan explained that Fairway to Hell materialized as a collaboration between his company, the TGL (Tomorrow’s Golf League) and the PGA Tour.

“We’ve been talking to the TGL and the PGA Tour about collaborating with [All Elite Wrestling], and it came together to put on AEW Fairway to Hell this Saturday. It’s going to be an awesome show—you don’t want to miss it. There are still tickets available, or you can watch it on TBS. You can stream it on HBO Max, watch it on cable, satellite, YouTube TV—however you watch TBS—and it’s on in 150 countries all over the world.”

TK proceeded to suggest that he hopes to host the event again, and additionally incorporate a charity golf tournament, dubbed Fairway to Heaven, as the other half of the program.

“The eyes of the wrestling world—and now the golf world—are going to be on [All Elite Wrestling], and we’re bringing you Fairway to Hell. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, and I hope to continue this event and incorporate a charity golf tournament—Fairway to Heaven—as the other piece. Everyone is really excited. This has been a great collaboration. It’s been great working with TGL and the PGA.” [H/T- Ringside News]
