Tony Khan Addresses Status Of AEW Podcast Network

Tony Khan touched on the long-dormant AEW Podcast Network during a press conference tied to AEW Redemption, giving fans their first public word on the project in months.

The podcast network was first mentioned back in March, when AEW unveiled MyAEW, a streaming platform built to give international fans access to live and archived AEW programming. The podcast network was name-checked as part of that same press release, positioned as a companion piece to the streaming service, but AEW had gone quiet on it in the months since. No launch date, lineup, or format had been revealed, leaving the announcement as little more than a bullet point until Khan brought it back up.

It’s not surprising that reporters pressed Khan on the subject. AEW has spent years building out a media ecosystem beyond live events and weekly television — from Ring of Honor’s library to its various YouTube and digital offerings — and a dedicated podcast network would be a logical next step in that expansion. It also fits the broader industry trend: WWE has leaned heavily into podcasts and digital audio content through partnerships and its own talent-hosted shows, and other promotions have used podcasts to build storylines and keep talent visible between tapings. A formal AEW network could give the company a similar always-on presence, whether through behind-the-scenes content, wrestler-hosted shows, or recap programming tied to Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage.

For now, the update serves mainly as confirmation that the project hasn’t been shelved rather than a concrete rollout plan. AEW has a habit of teasing initiatives — MyAEW itself took time to materialize into something tangible for fans — so it wouldn’t be shocking if the podcast network follows a similar slow-build path. Khan has consistently framed these ventures as long-term investments in AEW’s infrastructure rather than quick-turnaround products, and that approach has both benefits and drawbacks: it allows for a more polished launch, but it also means fans are left waiting without firm timelines.

What happens next will likely hinge on how MyAEW itself continues to perform and expand internationally. If the streaming platform proves successful in growing AEW’s reach outside the U.S. and U.K., a companion podcast network becomes an easier sell as a value-add for subscribers. It would also give AEW another outlet to spotlight talent who might not get consistent screen time on the flagship shows, similar to how podcasts have helped elevate personalities across the wrestling landscape.

AEW hasn’t put a date on when the network might actually go live, so for now the story remains one of intent rather than execution. Still, Khan choosing to bring it up unprompted suggests it remains on the company’s radar, and PW Exclusive will continue watching for any concrete details as they emerge.
