Tony Khan comments on WWE.
Tony Khan, wearing a neckbrace, appeared on NFL Network and discussed his attack at the hands of The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) and Jack Perry.
While he was giving fans an update, and commenting on how his father Shad Khan felt about the attack, Tony discussed AEW's place in the wrestling marketplace.
"AEW, we've been doing this for five years, we are the most successful sports start up since the AFL, pre-merger. There has not been a challenger brand that has gained as much market share as AEW in many many years. We are like the Pepsi of pro wrestling. We're up against an evil juggernaut. WWE is our competitor, that's who we're facing. AEW, like the Pepsi of pro wrestling. WWE is like the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling. I'm really proud of what we do down here," he said.
Film producer Weinstein was accused of sexual abuse in the #MeToo movement and convicted of rape. The conviction was later overturned.
Vince McMahon and WWE were named in a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant with accusations of sexual abuse against McMahon.
