In a recent interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com to promote the upcoming AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam show at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan revealed that he is procuring a venue that will be specifically for AEW Dark tapings once the company goes back touring and that the show will continue to remain the same with unsigned talent appearing.

“I’m going to procure a venue for use to tape Dark and other content that’ll be great and I’m really looking forward to this, I think it’s going to be tremendous and it will be where we’ll shoot Dark and we’ll do tapings and it’ll be as it’s been. It’s been a developmental situation and it’ll continue to be developmental and it’s been great doing it all under one roof all at one taping and there’s been advantages, but there’ll be some advantages now to doing it as its own taping and being able to give 100% attention to these and not having also to think about Dynamite, and soon Rampage and Elevation also.

I think Dark has been a great platform, and now Elevation for developmental, nobody can deny it, everybody in the world of wrestling is clearly paying attention to it, because a lot of recruitment of people who come in and make appearances on Dark, there’s no doubt that those people seem to get a lot of tryouts in the world of wrestling and vice versa to be honest. There’s a lot of people that have made appearances and done things in the world of wrestling and I try to scout out and I’ve got a great, great group of people, it starts from The Young Bucks and Cody and Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley and so many other people in AEW have come to me with names and suggestions of people that would be great for Dark and a lot of those people have been great and also for Elevation.

Working with different companies, working with New Japan, I’ve put together deals, booked Ren Narita for example through Kenny, we booked Takeshita through DDT, which was great and to get Takeshita in, he was tremendous, and then also with women’s wrestling, I’ve made different agreements and we’ve been able to do different things there.”
