Tony Khan would be interested in exploring the possibility of having Nikki Garcia in AEW.
Nikki and Brie Garcia, aka The Bella Twins, have focused on their business ventures and have not done anything in wrestling since leaving WWE in March 2023. Earlier this week, Nikki made headlines when she said on their podcast that she seriously considered going to AEW shortly after the arrival of Mercedes Mone in March.
She thought she could do it for a year but opted against calling Khan due to her son, as she feels he needs her more. While speaking with Tim Battle and Eli on the Battleground Podcast, Khan spoke about Nikki’s comments.
“If Nikki Garcia ever wanted to come into AEW, I would be very interested in that. I think the world of her. I have so much respect for Nicole and Brie. They’re like family to us because Bryan is like a part of my family, and that means Brie and Nicole [are] part of the family. So I have so much respect for both of them, and if Nikki was interested in coming to AEW, we would love to have her here any time. That was so great to hear. It means the world, and I just like both of them so much. I think they’re really, really cool and really, really great stars that would add a lot to AEW if they ever wanted to come.”
Nikki Bella said she was close to calling Tony Khan about joining AEW. We asked Tony if he’d pick up the phone on the @battlegroundihr. #AEWDymamite
