"Having a big event like this puts us in a really, really good position," Khan said. "I think it gets a lot of eyeballs on the product and also a lot of attention from media and all of you giving it great coverage. It's a really important year for it's not only our fifth year, but we're also going into renewals for most of our media rights. It's going to be a major, major year where we'll have a lot to celebrate because we're going to see huge growth in our revenues this year as we renew those deals."

As Khan mentioned, All Elite Wrestilng's television rights deal expires with Warner Bros. Discovery is set to expire in December of this year.
