TONY KHAN RESPONDS TO AEW'S BIG RATING, BOSTON ON SALE, VISITORS IN AC AND MORE AEW NOTES

AEW President Tony Khan commented on the big audience for AEW Dynamite this week:

It should be noted that, to the best of my knowledge, this past Wednesday was the first-ever AEW TV episode to open up with a segment that set up an unannounced "main event" style bout in FTR vs. CM Punk and Jon Moxley.   

In what will be an interesting story to follow given their relationship with AEW, The Discovery-WarnerMedia merger has passed United States Government approval, so Discovery will be taking control and directing the direction of TBS, TNT, and the other WarnerMedia networks if and when Discovery stockholders vote to make the takeover official.

Tickets for AEW's return to Boston, MA at the Agganis Arena on 4/6 are now on sale at Ticketmaster.com.

Former ROH owner Cary Silkin and The Monster Factory's Danny Cage were visiting at the Atlantic City taping this week.  The legendary George Napolitano was also seen shooting photos at the event.  As we reported Wednesday, former WWE NXT Coach and Producer Ace Steel was also at the taping.

We are told AQA impressed in her appearance against Jade Cargill, so expect to see her pop up again in AEW.

With Starz's Heels slated to begin filming a second season in next month or so in Georgia, one would think CM Punk would be returning to play Ricky Rabies, an excellent character he plays that is an obvious tribute to the late Tracy Smothers.
