Tony Khan on using licensed songs in AEW
Tony Khan has licensed a lot of songs in recent years but they haven\'t been for a reasonable price. During Battleground Podcast, he explained:
\"Sometimes people ask for money that I don\'t think is reasonable, other times we have gotten deals that I thought were very fair.\
Khan has revealed that he paid for all of the licensed music in perpetuity. He added:
\"Every great moment where we\'ve licensed music, we still have that music, I paid for the rights in perpetuity. I\'ve had a lot of other opportunities to license music and work with a lot of great artists. We\'ve done all kinds of great stuff, and hopefully, someday all of that will be available for people to watch in perpetuity on the library forever.\
AEW is promoting their shows in the build-up to AEW Full Gear as \'November To Remember\'.

On November 20th, AEW Dynamite will head to Reading, Pennsylvania followed by AEW Full Gear on November 23rd in Newark, New Jersey.
