AEW Chairman Tony Khan recently revealed on Busted Open Radio that he has some exciting plans for the women's division. He was delighted with the division and reminded everyone that AEW made a statement with All Out 2021.
All Out turned out to be a phenomenal show for Tony Khan's brand. AEW pulled off some excellent surprises as Ruby Soho, Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson made their debuts.
