On a recent episode of “The Dan Le Batard Show”, Tony Khan, who is the president of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), shared anecdotes from his rendezvous with Shane McMahon at a private airstrip in Arlington, Texas, late last month.
Read on for highlights from this podcast:
During the interview, Tony Khan expressed his first-ever encounter with Shane McMahon: “That was the first time we’ve ever met.”
The show also touched upon who might have captured the photo of their meeting. Khan speculated, “I believe it was done by someone who works at the airport. We were simply chatting in the airport lounge, as is obvious from the photo, when someone entered seemingly distracted by their phone, apologised, and then exited. My guess is that it transpired in this manner. It wasn’t as suave as it may seem. Moreover, it’s not a secret to be kept under wraps. I was just hoping to have a good interaction with him. I’ve heard favourable things about him. We share many common friends. Since we were both in Dallas, suggestions were made, ‘You two should meet up.’ Consequently, we decided to meet at the airport. It was a pleasant conversation. I found Shane to be a very courteous and reputable individual, and I truly took pleasure in our conversation.”
