Tony Khan has made an adjustment to the AEW and it’s in order to benefit those in need in Maui.

The Hawaiian island has been tragically stricken with immense wildfires this week, with 55 people confirmed dead and many families displaced.

In order to help those struggling, AEW President Tony Khan announced on The X that he was making changes to next week’s AEW TV schedule by making all three of his programs a version of “Fight For The Fallen,” noting all proceeds from their time in Nashville, TN and Lexington, KY next week will go to the Maui Food Bank.

“Based on the horrific fires in Maui, I’ve changed AEW’s upcoming schedule to provide assistance. Next week on Wed/Fri/Sat, it’s AEW Fight For The Fallen 2023 on AEW Dynamite, AEW Rampage and AEW Collision.”

One of AEW talents, Dustin Rhodes, happened to be in Maui during this time and gave his personal account of the very sad situation.

“Prayers for everyone in Maui including my wife and I. We were without power or food since early Tuesday morning. A brush fire(one of many), destroyed Lahaina just 2 miles from where we were staying. We evacuated to other side of Island and were lucky to find accommodations. Been a helluva day.”

Tony Khan Hopes To Help Maui During A Scary Time

Tony Khan is hoping to make a difference with next week as Maui has been stated to look like a warzone after fires swept across the island. Josh Green, the governor of Hawaii, believes this will be the biggest natural disaster in the history of the state. Khan joins the likes of Jeff Bezos, who along with his wife Lauren Sanchez, are pledging $100 million to help the state and island recover from such a tragic situation.

We at Inside The Ropes want to extend our thoughts, prayers and condolences to all of those who have been affected by the fires.
