AEW world champion “Hangman” Adam Page and AEW President Tony Khan spoke to media after the 2025 All Out PPV event. Here is an excerpt…

John Pollock: “The big story was this head-to-head competition between AEW and WWE, and I just wanted to get some of your thoughts maybe on the vibe of the locker room going into this, and especially you and Kyle with what was on your shoulders, perhaps to put a punctuation on this show. How much is that story permeating in the locker room, and what was the overall attitude of what today meant?”

Page: “You know, that’s a great question, because I think the assumption would be it’s what we’re talking about, it’s what we’re worried about. But the truth—the honest truth—is that it’s not remotely. You know, it’s something that we see coming. When it does happen, it’s like, okay, ‘yeah, yeah, I figured.’ And it’s not something we’re thinking about. We’re so focused on what we do here. You know, we’ve got—how many people here today? Over 13,000 people in the building today who came to see us. All those people buying those pay-per-views, they’re here to watch us. That’s what we’re focused on. And I know that might not be what you would assume is happening and what the talk is, but that’s the honest truth. We are just so committed and so focused on putting forth the best effort that we can. That’s all that’s on our mind, and that’s honest to God.”

Khan: “Definitely felt like the energy backstage today, and at All In Texas, was very much focused on what everyone felt was going to be a great event. And tonight, everybody came out. Thankfully, I felt like the vibe after was so positive about AEW and what we’re doing here—what a great show we had, what a great champion we have, what a great new women’s world champion we have. And I really felt like tonight this show was a celebration of this locker room.”
