All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan responds to being confused for WWE Co-CEO Nick Khan.
The name Khan is a powerful name in wrestling. Tony Khan is the owner of AEW and has been since 2019. Since the retirement of Vince McMahon in 2022, Nick Khan has become the Co-CEO of WWE alongside Stephanie McMahon. In the past, Tony Khan has had some fun with the fact that he shares a last name with such a high-ranking official in WWE. Following a report that WWE was trying to work out a working relationship with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Tony Khan, who was already entering a working relationship with NJPW, joked that there is only room for one Khan in professional wrestling and it's not "some con man in Connecticut."
Now, Tony is responding on social media after Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports confused the two Khans believing it was Tony Khan that got Barstool Van Talk canceled when it was actually Nick Khan.
Quick correction. I got the wrong Khan. Tony we like. Nick is the guy who is full of shit. Carry on. https://t.co/PuI3KhRLgF

Tony then responded by saying that he could not be more different from the WWE executive before promoting the upcoming major week of All Elite Wrestling programming.
2 more different people we could not be.
