Tony Khan comments on a potential AEW Hall of Fame and names Sting and Brodie Lee as two people the company would have to honor.
The last chapter of Sting's legendary career came in AEW. "The Icon" came out of retirement and had a remarkable run in the company, as he went undefeated and captured the AEW World Tag Team Championship with Darby Allin. He competed in his last match at AEW Revolution. Lee, a former TNT Champion, passed away in December 2020, but his legacy lives on, both in the Dark Order and in Brodie Lee Jr.
Speaking with Liam Crowley of ComicBook Nation, Tony Khan was asked whether Sting would be the first inductee into a potential AEW Hall of Fame.
"We have never talked about a Hall of Fame. Sting is one of the most important people in the history of the wrestling business and certainly one of the most important people ever in AEW," Khan said.
Khan continued, "If we ever do an AEW Hall of Fame, certainly the first two people that come to mind that we would have to honor would be Sting and Mr. Brodie Lee. Two of the greatest champions and two of the greatest people we’ve had in AEW. Very different circumstances, but those would be the first two people that come to my mind. Somebody that never got to wrestle in AEW that I also feel very strongly about who needs to be talked about and honored is Jay Briscoe, who I always wanted to bring in to AEW. He was my friend and friends with a lot of people in the locker room and one of the greatest wrestlers I ever worked with and produced. Jay Briscoe is someone very important to all of us, even though he never got the chance to wrestle in AEW. I do think Sting and Mr. Brodie Lee would be great people to build any Hall of Fame class around."
Khan also mentioned that Jay Briscoe, who passed away in 2023, is in the Ring of Honor Hall of Fame and was honored by the company while he was still with us.
