Tony Khan Addresses TNA Purchase Interest, Jack Perry Status, and Visa Issues on Forbidden Door Media Call

Tony Khan fielded questions on a wide range of subjects during Thursday’s pre-show media call ahead of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, touching on everything from the future of TNA Wrestling to the current state of AEW’s streaming platform.

Among the most notable topics was Khan’s interest in acquiring TNA Wrestling, a subject that has circulated in wrestling circles and one Khan chose to address directly on the call. He also spoke to the contract situation surrounding Jack Perry, whose status with AEW has drawn attention in recent months, though specifics of what Khan revealed were part of a broader discussion about the company’s roster heading into one of its biggest events of the year.

On the international side, Khan acknowledged visa issues that have created complications for some talent ahead of Forbidden Door, a cross-promotional pay-per-view that by its nature draws from a global pool of wrestlers. Co-promoted with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the event relies heavily on Japanese talent making the trip stateside, making travel and visa logistics a recurring logistical challenge for the card.

Khan also took time to highlight the growth of MyAEW, the company’s dedicated streaming service, pointing to an expanding library of content as a sign of the platform’s momentum.

The name Sareee also came up during the call, signaling that the acclaimed Japanese wrestler remains a point of discussion for the promotion as Forbidden Door approaches.

Forbidden Door continues to serve as one of AEW’s marquee annual events, blending its roster with New Japan talent for a card that carries significant stakes on both sides of the partnership.
