Tony Khan comments on his meeting with Shane McMahon.
On July 31st, Fightful Select and WrestleTalk reported that Tony Khan met with Shane McMahon over "possibilities moving forward." A photo of the two in a meeting was posted online.
Speaking on Sedano & Kap, Tony Khan was asked about the meeting.
"As I understand, he's not doing anything with WWE, and I had a really nice visit with him. I heard from a lot of people that he was interested in talking and it had become, frankly, a big media story to the point where I was getting asked on the record questions about it and I answered them, just like I'll answer you now. In advance of, I had never met him and my first conversation with him, there was a lot of buzz about this. I thought it would certainly be worth talking and I have a lot of respect for him. I had never met him, but he seemed like a really nice guy. I sat down with him, he was fantastic. I really enjoyed talking with him. He is a very smart person about wrestling and I thought he was a great guy. We have a lot of mutual friends and we both happened to be in Dallas. A mutual friend linked us up, who is one of the bigger names in pro wrestling, and that friend put us on a group chat. I had a really nice talk and I really enjoyed visiting with him. Clearly, there was a lot of interest in it. Somebody, in the middle of talking at an airport conference room, somebody just busted in and took a photo. I think that's fine. I enjoyed the conversation and there is nothing wrong with a couple of people getting together and talking about wrestling. That's part of what makes wrestling so great. There is a lot to talk about and we're all fans at heart.
"It's a big thing. It's exciting. It was nice to talk to him. I don't know what's to come, but it's an exciting time in AEW."
It is unknown if Shane McMahon will appear on AEW TV.
