• “F**k The Fed” – Fans After Tony Khan Reveals Original Plan For Debut Episode Of AEW Dynamite In 2019
When All Elite Wrestling brought the AEW Dynamite tapings to New York City on December 20, 2025, the setting alone carried historic weight. The taping took place at the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom, drawing a passionate crowd that was eager to hear from company leadership.
Before the show got underway, AEW President Tony Khan stepped out to address the audience. In addition to thanking fans for their support, he teased the possibility of bringing a future AEW pay-per-view to New York, which immediately sparked loud chants from the crowd calling for Madison Square Garden.
That chant led Khan to share a surprising story from AEW’s earliest days. According to him, Madison Square Garden was initially lined up to host the very first episode of Dynamite in 2019. Khan explained that MSG had reached out and offered him the date, an opportunity he said he was excited to accept at the time.
However, the plan quietly fell apart. Khan told the crowd that a few months later, he received another call informing him that the offer was no longer on the table. Khan was reportedly told that hosting AEW at MSG would “really upset somebody.”
The implication wasn’t lost on the audience, as chants erupted referencing WWE: “F**k the Fed.”

• WWE Set For Crossover With Major Show
As Netflix prepares to roll out the next wave of Stranger Things episodes, the platform’s growing relationship with WWE may be about to produce a crossover moment. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE is lining up a promotional tie-in connected to the hit series.
WWE RAW operates as a Netflix property, making cross-promotion between the two brands a natural fit as the streaming giant looks to maximize attention around one of its flagship shows. With new Stranger Things content dropping soon, WWE programming offers a massive platform to amplify that launch.
Few modern TV series have had the kind of cultural impact Stranger Things enjoys. Its influence has stretched well beyond television, famously reintroducing “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush to a new generation of fans and sending the track soaring back up the music charts decades after its release.
That song also carries a deep-rooted connection to wrestling history. A cover version by Placebo was once used in what many consider one of the most iconic WWE video packages ever produced, promoting the “Streak vs. Career” match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 26 in 2010.
