AEW President Tony Khan approached former TNA commentator Mike Tenay about appearing on the AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam Mexico broadcast held in August. According to reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the inquiry occurred in mid-July, though the two parties did not finalize a deal for the event. Tenay has remained retired from the professional wrestling industry since 2016 despite receiving recurring offers from major promotions. Khan likely considered Tenay for the Mexico event due to the commentator's extensive background in WCW and AAA during the early 1990s. While Tenay recently declined an invitation to appear on the program Dark Side of the Ring, he remains a high-profile figure who previously served as the voice of TNA for twelve years.
