Summary

Tony Khan says AEW's relationship with Jazwares could change after reports that the company's full AEW team was laid off.

Khan addressed the situation during the pre-ROH Supercard of Honor media call. He said AEW has had a great relationship with Jazwares, but stopped short of offering any further detail about what comes next.

The comment adds another layer to a notable business story around AEW's merchandise and licensing footprint. Khan has recently been fielding a range of media-call questions, including his expectation that Sareee and Persephone will still appear in AEW's Owen Hart Cup in June.

Quote from Tony Khan

"I do think it's possible there could be a change and that could potentially be a positive change for AEW and the fans."

What a Jazwares change could mean for AEW

If AEW does move in a different direction with Jazwares, the most immediate consequence would be for one of the promotion's better-known consumer lines. Jazwares has worked with AEW since 2020, so any shift would matter to fans who follow the company's action figures as closely as the on-screen product.

Khan's wording also leaves the door open for AEW to treat this as a reset rather than simply a disruption. He did not confirm a new partner or a formal split, but his comment suggests AEW sees at least a possible upside if a change does happen.
