Idiocy Impressed Tony Khan Into Giving AEW Name A Job

AEW

An AEW name has revealed how they got a role in the company and what brought them to the attention of Tony Khan.

RJ City is the host of the AEW YouTube show Hey! (EW) and recently revealed how he ended up in the company.

Speaking to Stephanie Chase, City revealed how Tony Khan approached him, saying:

“My general understanding is Tony [Khan] is directly the reason I’m in AEW, because he messaged me.

“He had known my stuff: The stuff I did in WWE, I did a comedy special, he knew that; but he [also] knew all the videos I put online, just stupid videos I was making, which blew me away.

“Because it’s like ‘Why didn’t you tell me earlier?’ So I think he knew exactly what he was getting.

“He was also my second guest, which was pretty much the stamp of approval of ‘I tolerate this person’s idiocy’.”

He would also comment that:

“It is weird, both WWE and AEW, I had positions that only seemed to be created for me.”

RJ City had previously been a host on WWE’s The Bump, now hosted by Kayla Braxton who also serves as a backstage interviewer on WWE SmackDown.
