Tony Khan has been a messiah for All Elite Wrestling, shaping the brand into one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world. While
is still the big fish in the sea, AEW is making sure to mark its own authority, with many veteran WWE stars having joined the promotion after leaving the Stamford-based promotion behind.

Since its inception in 2019, AEW has marked many events like the WWE, and with its annual event All In coming at fans rapidly, Tony Khan should consider a few things.
What Tony Khan could learn from WWE's mistakes?
Remember how Rey Mysterio was going to fight El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41? After Americano disrespected Mysterio's LWO partner Dragon Lee and unmasked him,
decided to challenge Americano to a one-on-one fight at WrestleMania 41. But unfortunately, he revealed during the preshow for WrestleMania 41 that he had not been medically cleared to fight.
This happened because he got injured the night before the Show of Shows at SmackDown and then had to pull out of his match against El Grande Americano, which was one of the most anticipated fights of the weekend.

Another similar and more recent incident occurred when Liv Morgan got injured during a match against Kairi Sane on Monday Night RAW. With her having an important fight coming up against Nikki Bella at the time, as the two were supposed to fight each other on Evolution 2025, having Morgan go through such an intense match was a risk, which unfortunately did not pay off, and now she will be out with her shoulder injury for months.
With All In: Texas happening on July 12 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, which is basically WrestleMania for AEW, Tony Khan should learn from WWE's mistakes and not have his wrestlers who will be the main attraction for the big night, perform any intense fights beforehand, which might cause issues like an unfortunate injury before the main event. PAC is already set to miss out on 2025 All In because of a leg injury, fingers crossed, no one else will be missing from it.

CBFC panel verbally refused to certify KIFF film: Director

1 2 Kolkata: The Dallas-based director of 'Kalponik' told TOI that the revising committee of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) that watched his Bengali film in Mumbai last Friday (July 18) verbally refused to recommend it for certification. Director Arka Mukhopadhyay said the 15-member committee fears that releasing his film will disrupt communal harmony since it feels that, although the movie is a work of fiction, the storyline hints at a probable politician-media nexus when controversies erupt over unearthing Hindu idols on the premises of mosques. CBFC's regional officer in Kolkata, Sushrut Sharma, is waiting for the written communication on this from the CBFC Mumbai office. "An examining committee watched the film in Kolkata. The revising committee meeting was held in Mumbai last Friday," said Sharma. "The protocol now is that the CBFC Mumbai office will send the CBFC Kolkata office written documentation on the observations. We will then share it with the director," he added. Mukhopadhyay's Bengali film, screened in the competitive segment of the Bengali Panorama of the 30th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) last year, is based on what happens when relics of an ancient temple are unearthed underneath a mosque before an upcoming election. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo It stars Rajatava Dutta, Shahidur Rehman, and Satakshi Nandy. "At Friday's meeting, I was asked if my film is pointing to the Babri Masjid and Ram Temple controversy. I was quizzed about whether or not my storyline hints at a probable politician-media nexus when controversies erupt over unearthing Hindu idols on the premises of mosques. But I told the committee that mine is a fictional story and is a work of art. The title of the film itself is 'Kalponik', which means imaginary," the engineer-turned-director told TOI.

"It felt that my story, told from a foreign lens, may disrupt communal harmony. I was even told that my film shows one particular community in a bad light. I have asked CBFC to give me everything in writing. When I wanted to know if there is anything that could be done to bring the film to the audiences, the answer was 'not the way it is told now'. The committee agreed to consider if I changed the approach or my script. But doing so will turn it into another film. It will then become 'Kalponik 2'," Mukhopadhyay said.
