Tony Khan has been quite active on social media this week by taking shots at WWE, Vince McMahon, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Undertaker, and John Cena.
Ahead of last year’s All Out, it was reported by multiple places that Khan held a talent meeting where he said Megha Parekh, Chief Legal Officer, sent an email to WWE’s Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan warning them not to tamper with AEW talent.
The AEW President has clarified in a series of posts on Twitter that when it was alleged that WWE tampered with AEW talent contracts, business became personal for him because it came a time when his mother was fighting for her life. He wrote the following:
“This weekend marks 1 year since @MayoClinic saved my mom’s life. During her ordeal many AEW talent came to me alleging WWE tampering, inducing them to break their contracts. I’ll never forget these phone calls at her side in the hospital; it’s when business became personal for me. This is nothing new, I mentioned it last year after she came home. It’s relevant today because she checked in for surgery 1 year ago today. As I’ve mentioned several times since, @MayoClinic are heroes and thanks to them, her recovery from a very grim outlook has been a miracle. Not that I should be surprised, but the same WWE avatar accounts that spam me every day, no matter what I say or what it’s about, now turning their wrath to Mom recovering from a near death experience, is why I straight hate these people to the bottom of my heart with all my soul.”
