AEW President Tony Khan got people talking last week during an appearance on the NFL Network to talk about the 2024 NFL Draft when he took a major shot at WWE and Vince McMahon.
He compared AEW to being the Pepsi of pro wrestling while going up against an evil juggernaut like WWE. He also referred to them as Harvey Weinstein, a disgraced former Hollywood executive. This was the latest shot between the two companies.
While appearing on TMZ Sports, Khan was asked about his comments, noting that it got a lot of coverage for AEW.
“Well, I think we got a ton of coverage for AEW. I think it is important to say that I think AEW is the best wrestling company in the world in many ways. I think that we have the best wrestlers, the best matches, we’ve been putting on the best shows. I think the best pay-per-view events this year have been AEW [Revolution & Dynasty].”
