Tony Khan, the AEW President, has expressed his openness to having conversations with Shane McMahon. Khan talked about Shane McMahon’s potential interest in collaborating with his wrestling promotion during a recent appearance on the “Maggie & Perloff” podcast, convened to discuss the impending episode of Dynamite airing tonight. Below are some highlights distilled from their energetic discussion:
When questioned about Shane McMahon, Khan, rather candid, said: “I’ve never been acquainted with Shane McMahon personally, although he carries a wealth of wrestling experience under his belt and has several friends in AEW. To date, we have had no formal discussions or interactions. His encounter with Mercedes Mone post the Forbidden Door event was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise. Despite never having met him, I am quite open to the idea.”
Regarding the speculations of McMahon considering a stint at AEW, Khan proclaimed: “I am completely open to sitting down with him, and he is always welcome to drop by. This spilled rumor is indeed intriguing. A myriad of fascinating personalities from the wrestling arena have been welcomed on board through the proverbial ‘Forbidden Door’ at AEW and if this materialized, it could indeed be one of the shocking additions. I’ve not had a personal interaction with him, but based on what I have observed, he comes off as a rather pleasant individual.”
Tony Schiavone, an AEW broadcaster, had recently shared his thoughts on his “What Happened When” podcast, lauding the commendable work Chris Jericho has been delivering lately with his new faction, ‘The Learning Tree’. He enthused, “I’m really enjoying the Learning Tree stuff. Again, a tip of the cap to Chris fing Jericho to be able to recreate sht and recreate sh*t all the time. He just does it, man. I’m enjoying this.”
