Tony Khan Talks About AEW’s Big Additions Ahead Of Big Business

Tony Khan
AEW

It’s mid-March, and it’s already been a pivotal year for AEW. Between the official arrival of Will Ospreay, Sting’s magnificent retirement match, and Kazuchika Okada’s surprising debut, the promotion is at a turning point.

On AEW Dynamite in Boston, Founder and CEO Tony Khan is expected to debut someone who has the chance to completely redefine the promotion’s women’s division in Mercedes Moné. He wouldn’t confirm the signing, but alluded to Wednesday night being one of the biggest nights in AEW history following months of speculation and reports.

“We’re very excited about Big Business tonight on TBS. It’s one of the most anticipated AEW events,” Khan tells Uproxx Sports. “We’ve got a huge crowd coming to the TD Garden in Boston and everyone’s looking forward to seeing the great night of AEW. I do have something very special planned for the fans at Big Business and everyone’s going to have to tune into TBS tonight to see what it’s all about.”

Big Business could be another step forward for AEW in building what Khan says is the “strongest our women’s roster has ever been.” Former champions Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander have returned from injury. Toni Storm is blossoming as champion in a really engaging storyline next to Mariah May and Deonna Purrazzo. And while Athena has been crushing it in Ring of Honor, she could very well be added to the mix.

“I’m very excited about what Athena offers as a model world champion for Ring of Honor and the standard she’s set for the roster in ROH. I would say I think Athena is absolutely capable of wrestling the best stars in AEW as well,” Khan continues. “With Athena, the Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion, along with a tournament right now to establish a Ring of Honor Women’s World Television Champion, and ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm, the AEW Women’s World Champion, and Julia Hart, the TBS Champion, it feels like a very strong group of champions we have in AEW and ROH right now.”

While the women’s division will likely take the spotlight on Wednesday night, Khan has reloaded the men’s division as well in recent months after giving Sting a proper sendoff at AEW Revolution.

“Sting is one of the best ever,” Khan continues. “His previous sendoff was not commensurate with his iconic reputation and legendary stature. I felt that we could bring Sting back to AEW and for as long as he was interested in wrestling, we would push him to the forefront, showcase Sting, highlight what makes Sting great, and present him in the strongest light. I wanted to give Sting a great retirement, and then as I got to know him, it became even more important to me because Steve the man is every bit as wonderful as Sting.”

To fill the massive void left by the Icon, AEW has reloaded with the likes of Okada and Ospreay. Just a week into his AEW tenure and Okada has been a perfect fit alongside the Young Bucks as AEW’s top villains. And Ospreay, just two matches into his full-time AEW tenure, is showing why he was someone Khan has admired for years.

“(Ospreay) is one of the most talented athletes I’ve ever seen in a wrestling ring. He’s a perfect fit for any locker room and a perfect headliner for any wrestling company,” Khan says.

“I first met Will Ospreay over five years ago in London. He was wrestling PAC and PAC was about to sign with AEW at the time. As AEW launched, he had stepped into a top role in New Japan Pro Wrestling and he thrived there. He had become a lead star of New Japan’s promotion and we’re very, very happy that Will Ospreay joined AEW. I think Will Ospreay is exactly the kind of great star wrestler that any wrestling promoter would want to sign up for their company.”

For Khan, the first few months of 2024 have been all about riding the momentum the promotion developed at the end of last year and continuing to build stronger. The next phase in that process feels like it begins Wednesday night in Boston.

“I was very excited to launch the Continental Classic, and I thought that it would be the perfect event at the perfect time for the AEW fans across the world. I felt like it delivered one of the strongest runs of television in the history of the company and gave us a lot of great momentum going into 2024 as we ended the year,” Khan says.

“Now, I think we’ve done very well following up on that and creating a lot of excitement to start the year. It’s been a team effort from the great wrestlers in AEW and our awesome staff and the new big names that are joining the company. We’ve seen Ospreay and Okada arrive already in 2024. It’s going to be a great year and we’ll continue pushing for the very best of AEW tonight on Dynamite on TBS for AEW Big Business.”

Halle Bailey Continues Her Solo Era With A Release Date For Her Next Single ‘In Your Hands’

Halle Bailey

While Chloe X Halle fans clamor for a comeback from their favorite duo, the Bailey sisters themselves have been advancing their individual careers. While 2023 appeared to be Chlöe’s chance to shine as a solo artist while Halle enjoyed the Hollywood spotlight, it looks like the younger sister is ready to start rolling out her own solo album. Now that the release of The Color Purple is over and her new baby Halo is a few months old, Halle has begun to tease her next move: a solo single called “In Your Hands.”

She revealed the release date for the single on Twitter in a post suggesting what fans might be able to expect. In apparent cover photo for the single, Halle kneels in the desert, playing a guitar and whipping her hair across her face. The image, paired with a reply from her sister that reads, “My rockstar,” has fans expecting some Lenny Kravitz-esque rock’n’roll on Halle’s single, which would certainly help set her music apart from Chlöe’s hip-hop-flavored R&B approach.

Chlöe, meanwhile, has also continued her solo career, dropping the single “FYS” to start the year. So, while we might not be getting a new Chloe X Halle project right away, we could be getting projects from both Chlöe AND Halle, which is almost just as good.

“In Your Hands” is out on 3/15.

Will TikTok Be Banned In The United States?

To some, TikTok is the place to go to find fashion trends, look at cute cat videos, and dance like nobody is watching (even when millions are). For others, it’s where art goes to die. No matter what you seek out on TikTok, the future of the app is increasingly uncertain. Again!

This week, the House of Representatives passed a bill that requires ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S. The bill, which is called “Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,” prevents any app store in the U.S. from hosting ByteDance’s apps, including TikTok, unless the app severs ties to ByteDance within six months. The app is currently used by roughly 170 million Americans, many of whom were upset after UMG yanked their catalog from the app last month.

Reuters reports that TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew will head to Capitol Hill this week to talk to senators. The company believes that the government is “attempting to strip 170 million Americans of their Constitutional right to free expression.” Meanwhile, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan claims that the goal is not to ban the app, but to change ownership. “Do we want TikTok, as a platform, to be owned by an American company or owned by China? Do we want the data from TikTok – children’s data, adults’ data – to be going, to be staying here in America or going to China?” Sullivan said. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin called the ordeal “bullying behavior.”

On the other hand, Gen Z Democratic Rep Maxwell Frost believes that the attempt to ban the app violates the First Amendment. “I think that it is a violation of people’s First Amendment rights,” he said. “TikTok is a place for people to express ideas. I have many small businesses in my district and content creators in my district, and I think it’s going to drastically impact them too.” TikTok has been sending in-app alerts urging its users to call their reps, which only made them more upset..

So what does this mean for TikTok scrollers? The legislation will now head to the Senate, then the President. President Biden, who uses TikTok himself, says that if the bill reaches his desk he will sign it. For now, TikTok is still around, but it could be the end.

Olivia Munn Revealed Her Breast Cancer Diagnosis In The Hope That It Will ‘Help Others Find Comfort’

Olivia Munn revealed on Instagram today that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. “I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration, and support on their own journey,” she wrote.

Munn, who appeared at the Oscars with her husband John Mulaney, shared more about the diagnosis in a follow-up statement. “I wouldn’t have found my cancer for another year – at my next scheduled mammogram – except that my OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, decided to calculate my Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. The fact that she did saved my life,” she wrote. “Dr. Aliabadi looked at factors like my age, familial breast cancer history, and the fact that I had my first child after the age of 30. She discovered my lifetime risk was at 37%. Because of that score I was sent to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, which then led to a biopsy. The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer.”

A month after the biopsy, Munn had a double mastectomy. “I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next,” she wrote. “I’m lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options. I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day. Ask your doctor to calculate your Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score.”

Munn thanked Mulaney “for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect” and “being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up, always placing framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened.” She also showed her appreciation for the nurses, patient coordinators, and staff at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and Saint John’s in Santa Monica.

Nicolas Cage Doesn’t Like Talking About Comic Book Movies Anymore: ‘C’mon, I’ve Grown Up’

Nicolas Cage did not seem to enjoy a question about his comic book collection. While promoting his new movie Arcadian at SXSW, Cage participated in a Q&A where he got a little testy when asked if he’d ever return to the realm of comic book films after previously starring in Ghost Rider and Kick-Ass.

“Would I return to the comic book genre? I guess never say never, right?” Cage said before venting his frustration with the topic. “But, you know, much has been made about that. My comic book collection just goes viral so quickly and exponentially and I feel like it’s in some ways eclipsed by what I’m really reading. You know, like The Overcoat or Herman Hesse. It’s like I’m still stuck in 12 years old with the NyQuil and the lemon cookies reading The Incredible Hulk #72. I mean, c’mon, I’ve grown up.”

You can watch Cage’s full response below:

However, despite his seeming annoyance at the question, Cage switched to a more diplomatic gear and admitted he could still pop up in a comic book movie down the road.

“That’s not who I am anymore, which isn’t to say I don’t appreciate it. I do,” Cage said in conclusion. “And I’ll probably still be open to playing something, but it’s not really on my mind.”

More recently, the actor had a very brief cameo in The Flash where his version of Superman was finally brought to life, but he has openly spoken out about the overly-CGI’d final product.

“When I went to the picture, it was me fighting a giant spider. I did not do that. That was not what I did,” Cage told Yahoo! back in November. “I literally went to shoot a scene for maybe an hour in the suit, looking at the destruction of a universe and trying to convey the feelings of loss and sadness and terror in my eyes. That’s all I did.”

Arcadian opens in theaters on April 12.

Yung Lean And Bladee Combine Their Sad Boy And Drain Gang Forces On Their First-Ever Collab Album, ‘Psykos’

yung lean bladee
Guz Reichwald

Yung Lean has teamed up with his longtime friend and frequent collaborator Bladee for Psykos — their first-ever full-length collaborative album.

On Psykos, the Swedish stars combine the elements of Lean‘s post-punk side project from his alter ego JonatanLeandoer12, with the emotional rawness of songs like “Agony” from Lean’s 2017 album, Stranger.

“Across the album, the two visionaries showcase their own masterful way of blending timeless melodies and poppy hooks with sound beds of ethereal physical instrumentation that feel like a disassociated symphony,” reads a statement accompanying the album release. “An honest and clear-headed album of longing and love lost, Psykos is two artists at the peak of their powers, full of self-assurance.”

While both Bladee and Lean have become household names — especially in Sweden — Lean takes inspiration from various parts of the world. He spoke more about his love of music worldwide back in a 2022 interview with Office.

Hip-hop is very regional, and it’s the same in Sweden. There are rappers from the south that have a special accent. There are rappers from the north, and the same in the States. For me, it was just music, it was way wider than that. Since I traveled around with my mom and dad when I was a kid before my sister was born, and then when I’m 16 — I’m everywhere, so I think I just had to figure out what’s coming from in here, instead of repping your own town, or trying to get the sound from your city, or whatever.

You can see the Psykos cover art and tracklist below.

1. “Coda”
2. “Ghosts”
3. “Golden God”
4. “Still”
5. “Sold Out”
6. “Hanging From The Bridge”
7. “Enemy”
8. “Things Happen”
