When you’re Tony Khan, the greatest gift this holiday season is watching fans enjoy All Elite Wrestling. The founder, CEO, and overall creative visionary of the relatively young company launched in 2019. Since then it has become a popular staple of the Warner Bros. Discovery networks’ portfolio, so much so that the conclusion of A Christmas Story 24-hour marathon on TNT will lead to Christmas Collision. Santa Khan also presents Dynamite on 34th Street during Christmas Eve programming on TBS.
The one-two holiday punch leads into AEW Worlds End, the last pay-per-view of the year. It’s set to feature the semifinals and finals of Continental Classic. A tournament carefully crafted by Khan, featuring a mix of top and emerging talent. The event has become an annual tradition. For the boss, it’s a nice way to wrap up 2025. One he’d give his trademark “justified this is awesome chants” after being dubbed “Promotion of the Year” by Sports Illustrated.
