Tony Khan: RJ City Has Been My Right Hand In Mariah May's Storyline With Toni Storm, He's So Valuable

RJ City might not have a graphic, but he got some credit.

RJ City hosts Hey! (EW) and pre-shows of AEW pay-per-views, alongside Renee Paquette. He and Paquette also host Meal & A Match. City has made appearances on AEW television, and he was part of the early chapters of Mariah May's storyline with Toni Storm. That storyline has exploded recently, as May brutally turned on Storm on the July 10th episode of AEW Dynamite.

Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Tony Khan discussed the storyline and highlighted how RJ City has been a key part of the work behind the scenes.

“My right hand in all of this is RJ. He was the only person in the office who’d seen All About Eve and Sunset Boulevard, and he understood old Hollywood and the old movies. He’s been so valuable and tremendous throughout this process. He has a great aptitude for wrestling, and he was also able to use these movies for inspiration," Khan said.
