AEW President Tony Khan took part in the Full Gear media call, where he discussed a number of topics, including using the first Dynamite episode of 2025, Fight For the Fallen, to raise money for Asheville, North Carolina, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene.
Khan said, “The goal is to do everything we can to bring AEW and the support that Fight for the Fallen will offer to the people in Asheville. The hurricane damage and the aftermath — it’s tragic and terrible. I just wanted to do something to try and help out, and also to spotlight what these people are dealing with, and what a terrible, terrible situation this is.”
On the episode being the first episode to simulcast on Max:
“I think from the very beginning, we’re showing that this streaming era — we’re gonna put our very best foot forward. That best foot forward is Fight for the Fallen. We’re gonna take it very seriously.”
