During the Worlds End post-show media event, Tony Khan, the President and CEO of AEW, openly discussed his reasons behind the recent Tony Khan AEW signings of Hyan and Maya World. Khan highlighted the impressive performances and strong locker room respect both wrestlers have earned since joining the organization.
According to Khan, he has observed continuous growth from both athletes, noting their repeated contributions to the roster. He emphasized their consistent high-quality matches and the positive impact they have had so far:
“They’ve been doing a fantastic job. Hyan and Maya World came in and have delivered time after time, and put on great matches. Everybody in the locker room really respects them.

Recent Match and Official AEW Status
Khan spoke further about their recent showing during the Worlds End Zero Hour match, where Julia Hart, a former TBS Champion, teamed with hometown favorite Skye Blue. This match saw Hart and Skye Blue secure a win, but Khan made it clear that Hyan and Maya World left a lasting impression with their performance. Their efforts contributed to an upbeat energy and capped off the year on a high note for AEW.
“They had a great match again on the Zero Hour. Julia Hart, the former TBS Champion, and the hometown [star] Skye Blue picked up the win. And I thought that was great, but I also thought that Hyan and Maya World had been a real positive. So I thought on a positive note to end the year of 2025 with so many great things in AEW, they’ve been a great thing. And [I] wanted to make it official that Hyan and Maya World are both All Elite.”
