Tony Khan Says WWE Has Reached Out About Using AEW Talents For Upcoming Projects

Tony Khan has revealed that WWE contracted him about potentially using AEW stars for upcoming unscripted content.

Speaking on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox, Khan stated that WWE reached out to him about potential interviews with names currently in AEW, for upcoming biographical projects.

The AEW President pointed to Chris Jericho’s Broken Skull Sessions appearance earlier this year as an example of AEW and WWE doing business together.

Happy to work with WWE, as long as everything remains professional, Khan said:

“I heard from them recently. They were doing a lot of biographies and they wanted to use some of the people here and I think that’s the thing, it’s probably going to come out sooner or later in interviews, or they want to interview some of the people that wrestle here that used to wrestle there, and some people that have had a history in (promotions with) the other libraries that they own. So we’ll see, you know, I think — I’m open to talking. I heard from them and they were very nice.”

“We’ve heard from (WWE) a couple of other times. We did the thing last year — Chris Jericho did the thing with Steve Austin. That made sense to me because of Steve. I trust Steve and Chris completely. Steve’s a friend of mine.

“As long as everything’s classy, and this, the way they approached me was very classy. So I have nothing bad to say about that. I don’t know if we’ll see that competition head-to-head, but I am considering some of these requests on some of these biographies. It was actually a very nice call I received the other day, but I’ve never actually talked to Vince himself.”

Recently, both WWE and AEW have hosted shows in the UBS Arena in Long Island, NY. You can read about the final ticket counts for the November 29 edition of WWE Raw, and this week’s (December 8) AEW Dynamite & Rampage tapings at this link.
