Tony Khan was very excited to score a legendary Elton John song as the theme for AEW Collision.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan was a recent guest on Busted Open Radio with Dave LaGreca, Tommy Dreamer, and Mickie James to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about how much it must have cost to acquire the rights to “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting” by Elton John for AEW Collision, Khan said he wasn’t going to claim it was cheap but felt it was the perfect song for the show.
“Well, I’m not gonna claim it was, but I would say it was the perfect fit for the show,” Tony Khan said. “I really wanted to get it. I love working with pro wrestling music rights. I think one thing that we’ve done in AEW that’s been great is bring a lot of awesome music into the world of pro wrestling on a weekly basis. And you hear some legendary bands and legendary songs every week on Dynamite. And now, on AEW Collision very fitting to have this amazing anthem to have Elton John’s ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ as the official theme song of Collision.
“It’s a really big deal. And I’m very, very excited about this great opening theme song we were able to get, and people really seemed to love the show open with ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.’ It just felt to me like it would be the perfect song. And I really enjoy working on those kinds of things, videos and theme songs.”
