Tony Khan on AEW star Bryan Danielson's theme song at Forbidden Door II

Recently, Tony Khan revealed that obtaining the iconic 'Final Countdown' song for AEW star Bryan Danielson's entrance came at a significant cost.

Speaking at the Forbidden Door II Post-Show Media Scrum, Khan disclosed the efforts he made to secure the beloved theme song for Bryan Danielson.

"It's a very expensive song, 'Final Countdown.' I had been working on it for a while leading into the pay-per-view because I believed it would be a big moment and it would give the match something special. It was as expensive as a wrestler's contract but it was worth it," Khan said.

Khan has impressed fans with his attention to detail, including the use of licensed songs for wrestler entrances, like CM Punk, using his ROH theme during a match at AEW Revolution 2022.
