The ongoing rivalry between All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has taken a new turn, with AEW boss Tony Khan’s recent comments against WWE sparking controversy.
Khan’s comparison of WWE to Harvey Weinstein, referencing the sexual assault lawsuit against Vince McMahon, has drawn criticism from the wrestling community. Now, wrestling veteran Konnan has weighed in on the matter, suggesting that Khan’s behavior may be a major deterrent for top WWE Superstars considering a move to AEW.
Konnan, speaking on his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, expressed his disapproval of Khan’s behavior, stating that such actions would likely discourage top WWE talent from joining AEW. The wrestling veteran’s comments come on the heels of Khan’s latest jab at WWE, which has been met with widespread disapproval from fans and wrestlers alike.
Meanwhile, AEW’s on-screen storyline has taken a dramatic turn, with The Elite’s assault on Tony Khan on Dynamite, leaving the AEW boss sporting a neckbrace. However, Khan’s booking of a match despite his supposed injuries has raised eyebrows, with Freddie Prinze Jr. questioning why Khan didn’t take disciplinary action against The Elite for their actions.
As the drama unfolds, the wrestling world waits with bated breath to see if Tony Khan returns to Dynamite this week and how he responds to the assault by The Elite and Jack Perry. One thing is certain, however – the ongoing feud between AEW and WWE shows no signs of abating, and the controversy surrounding Tony Khan’s comments has only added fuel to the fire.
Konnan’s comments highlight the potential repercussions of Khan’s behavior on AEW’s ability to attract top talent from WWE. With the wrestling world watching closely, it remains to be seen how this saga will play out and what implications it will have for the future of professional wrestling.
