Tony Khan expressed his satisfaction with the strong working relationship between AEW and CMLL, offering high praise for the Mexican promotion in a recent interview. With AEW set to feature CMLL stars Mistico, Mascara Dorada, and Atlantis Jr. at this week’s tapings in Chicago, Khan took the opportunity to highlight the value of the partnership. Speaking with WGN Radio’s Iridian Fierro, Khan discussed how the collaboration has benefited both companies and shared his excitement about the continued involvement of CMLL talent in AEW programming.
Tony Khan said (per Fightful).
“It’s definitely going to continue, coming up Wednesday here in Chicago, it will be the AEW debut in Chicago for Mistico. First time we brought Mistico here to Chicago with AEW, and that’s huge, because he’s one of the greatest Lucha Libre stars of all time, and to have Mistico and Mascara Dorada, two of the top stars from CMLL, coming here this week, it’s a big deal on Wednesday night.”
“We’ll again have fans coming from all around Chicago, all over Illinois, and all the surrounding areas to see AEW, and I know a lot of people are going to be excited to see Mistico and Mascara Dorada here. CMLL have been great partners for us, and we’ve been sending our stars to Mexico also, and it’s been great for them. It’s been a partnership that’s been really beneficial to both sides.”
