Tony Khan Addresses Becoming On-Screen Heel In AEW

AEW

Although he has appeared on television a few times, Tony Khan has no desire to be an on-screen character, although there is a possibility.

Appearing on the Jon Chuckery Show, Tony Khan recently addressed his on-screen presence, saying:

“First of all, I really don’t want to do that. I don’t want to attract or take away any time from the great wrestlers in AEW. So I really try to limit the on-screen appearances I make.”

“When I do come out, it’s generally easier to make a very special announcement or specific instructions.

“I believe that’s served us very well, and that’s the role I would like to keep; more of being a device on the show than actually taking up a lot of time.”

As for becoming the next Mr McMahon, Eric Bischoff or Dixie Carter and adopting an on-screen personality, Khan went on to say:

“I don’t really want to be a character taking up a lot of time on the show.

“But, I also like answering people’s hypothetical phone questions.

“So I think, in my limited appearances, I do like representing the company, which is a babyface company, generally in a babyface role.

“I don’t think it’s really my role to be out there trying to get heat.

“If we needed that or were really up against it, maybe I would try that, but I don’t think there’s any need or really any demand for that. I think the way we’re doing it now is very well.”

Khan has recently addressed what he sees as the ‘real war’ between WWE and AEW.

He also stated that ‘a lot’ of AEW stars have allegedly been contacted by WWE though was unable to confirm the claims himself.
