AEW Owner Drops Stephanie McMahon Bombshell

AEW owner Tony Khan teased buying WWE on the The Maggie and Perloff Show, and mentioned he’d had positive conversations with Stephanie McMahon before.

 


 

“I am interested in the news that there is potentially a sales process and certainly, I think we’ve shown, when there are acquisitions and transactions, we’re capable of making the big purchases, whether my dad steps up with the (Jacksonville) Jaguars or Fulham FC in the Premier League and he’s done such a great job building up the club and putting resources into it and we’re playing football at a high level. With AEW, we’ve shown that we can build a company. Even when I purchased Ring of Honor, that’s a very different thing than WWE, but Ring of Honor is a company with 20 years of history and I really have enjoyed running it and we’ve shown that we’re at all time highs in terms of every business metric since we relaunched it and it’s only going to get better.

AEW is my main focus, but certainly, when that news is out there, it’s very interesting. Stay tuned to AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage, you never know when I’m going to address something. On the other hand, it’s very preliminary to talk about that process. If there is a process there, which it sounds like there may be, I’m interested in being part of it.”

Tony said he has no relationship with Vince McMahon, “No, I don’t have any relationship with him. I’ve talked with Stephanie and have had good conversations with Stephanie, but I don’t know Vince at all.”

He avoided talked about Stephanie’s resignation, “I can’t speak to it. I haven’t talked to her in a long time and I can’t speak to what is happening there.”

Fightful transcribed these remarks.
