Tony Khan discussed the return of AEW Dark to programming

From 2019 to 2023, AEW used to host a show on YouTube called Dark. It featured young and less prominent talents from the promotion. However, due to business focus and resource allocation, Tony Khan had to end the show in April 2023. However, recently, the All Elite Wrestling founder discussed the return of the show.

Speaking on WGN Radio, Khan stated that his promotion has a positive relationship with Warner Bros. Therefore, he would like to add more to the programming, considering their performance as of late. He named Dark as something he would like to feature on the network.

"We have great relationships with Discovery Global Networks and also with the Warner Brothers Studio and HBO MAX. So a lot of great things happening with AEW, and I love doing AEW Dark. I have so many great memories," he said. [20:36 to 20:48]
