AEW President Tony Khan has suggested that the intense wrestling event Blood & Guts could return in the near future. During a recent media scrum, Khan addressed questions about the potential revival of the double-ring war match, indicating cautious optimism to fans eager for its comeback. This news highlights the anticipation surrounding “Tony Khan Blood & Guts” and its unique place in AEW’s lineup.
Challenges and Considerations for Hosting the Event
Khan explained that staging Blood & Guts involves special logistics, especially regarding venue seating arrangements. Because the match uses a dual-ring setup, tickets must be sold with this format clearly announced, which is uncommon and presents certain challenges. Khan stated,
“I think there is great potential for a Blood & Guts event,”
and added,
“It requires a unique seating setup because with a two-ring setup, it involves putting an event on sale, basically telling the people, ‘This is going to be Blood & Guts.’ It’s not a show that is up right now because everyone has seen the seat maps, and there are no double-ring shows up. I do think there is a good chance of that. Please stay tuned.”

Context of the Last Blood & Guts Match and Current Landscape
The most recent Blood & Guts match took place in July 2024, where Team AEW — consisting of Swerve Strickland, Darby Allin, Mark Briscoe, and The Acclaimed — secured a significant victory over The Elite’s faction, which included The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, Hangman Adam Page, and Jack Perry. With AEW’s current roster filled with diverse factions once again, the environment seems ripe for this brutal match style to re-emerge, signaling a possible imminent return.
What the Return Could Mean for AEW
The potential revival of Blood & Guts would mark a major moment for AEW, reinforcing its reputation for high-stakes, gritty matches that draw passionate reactions. For fans of this distinctive format, the return would provide a thrilling highlight and expand AEW’s event variety. As Tony Khan encourages fans to stay attentive, wrestling enthusiasts can expect updates on when this intense showdown will next unfold.
