Tony Khan would be ‘very interested’ in bringing AEW to former ECW Arena

Tony Khan would love to bring AEW to the former home of ECW one day.

Philadelphia played host to AEW’s Dynasty pay-per-view on Sunday night with the show taking place at the Liacouras Center. At his media scrum after the event, Khan fielded a question about whether a future Dynamite or Collision could take place at the former ECW Arena (now named the 2300 Arena).

“2300 Arena, right? I would be very interested in that, truthfully,” Khan said before recounting the story of how the ECW Arena was the second place he ever saw pro wrestling live. “So I would absolutely love to run there… I think that would be really cool if we could go to the 2300 Arena sometime. I haven’t been there in a long time.”

Khan said that, when he was 13 years old, his parents allowed him to go to an ECW show in Philly as an incentive for choosing to attend the University of Illinois Laboratory High School. At the show, he met some of his online friends in real life for the first time after they had been talking about wrestling on the internet.

WWE NXT ran the 2300 Arena in November of last year. The NXT special episode went head-to-head with Dynamite that week with NXT being moved to Wednesday due to election coverage.

Dynasty 2025 was the first-ever AEW PPV to be held in Philly. The Liacouras Center has regularly been hosting AEW events ever since the third episode of Dynamite in 2019.
