After Fyter Fest Night Two went off the air, AEW President Tony Khan compared the Dark: Elevation brand to the WWE Performance Center.
After last night’s (July 21) show concluded, Tony Khan thanked fans for sticking around for AEW Dark: Elevation tapings. Noting that AEW doesn’t have the same developmental system as WWE, Khan said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, we don’t have a Performance Center in AEW. This is our Performance Center. We have the best young wrestlers in the world and this is where we showcase them.”
Khan’s reference has already been shared to Twitter:
Hey look! Another week, another #AEW referencing #WWE moment! #TonyKhan pic.twitter.com/QO5TQVcRND
