Tony Khan Says There’s A ‘Real War’ Between WWE & AEW

AEW/WWE

When Triple H took over as the head of WWE creative back in July, speculation begun about which former WWE stars would return to the company.

While numerous free agents have since returned to WWE, other names speculated were names that are currently contracted to All Elite Wrestling.

This led to AEW sending a ‘warning’ email to the company, as various AEW stars had alleged to Khan that WWE had reached out to them following the change in regime.

Khan spoke about the alleged ‘contract tampering’ on the Dan Le Batard Show, where he said that he believes there is a ‘real war’ between the two companies.

He said:

“I only know what people have come to me and alleged. But, I do know it’s a real war between AEW and WWE and the fans are interested in it and that was part of the original business model of AEW was I knew wrestling fans, frankly, are very interested in wrestling free agency and wrestling wars and I believe we could create a free agent market that is definitely a real thing now and that would be a big part of the story.

“I think we truly, truly hate each other and I think it makes for really exciting TV and it makes for an exciting wrestling war.”
