Tony Khan Reveals New AEW Star’s Debut Was Planned Four Years Ago

AEW

AEW’s Tony Khan has revealed that a recently debuted AEW star was originally intended to debut four years ago.

In recent weeks, viewers of AEW Collision have been treated to the incredible talents of a new luchador named Hologram, and with a vignette airing on last night’s Dynamite, he’s seemingly on his way to Dynamite soon.

Hologram is portrayed by former AAA star Aramis, and is a character personally devised by AEW CEO Tony Khan, a character he has planned for a long time.

Speaking on Q101, Khan discussed Hologram, noting that he originally intended on debuting Hologram four years ago after Revolution in 2020, but the pandemic ended up putting plans on hold.

He said:

“Hologram’s a character I’ve really wanted to see in wrestling for a long time. It was a luchador I had envisioned a long time ago, and honestly, this is the person I wanted to play that role, to be that wrestler. He was a fantastic young talent. I saw him at PWG, and he was 18 years old, and we brought him, when he was a teenager, to Wednesday Night Dynamite, almost five years ago, about four-and-a-half years ago, right after the original Revolution in Chicago.

“Literally, less than two weeks later, everything was shutting down, it was a crazy time in the world. We had brought him in, I was looking to make him Hologram then, and the world kind of went crazy, and he was locked down in Mexico for a long time. It was a long time before he made it back to America, and then I thought eventually, as things opened up, I really wanted to get Hologram in AEW. It’s been tremendous, it was great having Hologram team with Mistico last Saturday.”
