AEW President Tony Khan recently appeared on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take. The Director of Football at Fulham and Jacksonville Jaguars owner discussed a number of topics on the show, and made a bold statement saying that the Double or Nothing 2021 PPV was ‘better’ than WrestleMania 36 and 37.
‘I’ll tell you something; Double or Nothing last year and this year, in my opinion, was a better show (than WrestleMania),’ Tony Khan began on the show.
Khan also admitted that he enjoyed this year’s ‘Mania, which saw fans return to live events as the COVID-19 pandemic eases off. ‘I liked this year’s WrestleMania a lot better than last years. They had some fans this year and everyone there worked their ass off both years.”

“This year I thought, both (were) good shows. They did a two night show and it was a good show. But I thought Double or Nothing this year was outstanding and it was the best wrestling show of the year so far” Khan continued.

“And last year Double or Nothing, during the pandemic, it kicked the s–t out of WrestleMania last year. The pandemic version last year? Not even close. Double or Nothing was a much better show’ Tony Khan would conclude.
AEW are already holding shows in front of a far bigger crowd, however WWE are bringing back full attendance next month with the Money In The Bank and SummerSlam PPV shows this summer set to be massive in scope.
