The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) universe was left stunned last month when President Tony Khan participated in a major in-ring angle, sparking widespread speculation about a potential match for the CEO. However, former AEW star and WWE legend Matt Hardy has now shared his unique perspective on the matter, casting doubt on Khan’s likelihood of stepping into the ring.
Hardy, who recently parted ways with AEW and is currently working with TNA, discussed his former employer on the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, expressing his skepticism about Khan’s chances of wrestling inside the squared circle. Despite the increased speculation surrounding Khan’s potential match, Hardy believes that the AEW honcho will not be lacing up his boots anytime soon.
Khan, a lifelong pro wrestling fan, had previously stated in interviews that he did not want to write himself into the storylines as a character. His recent remarks on a potential match have only added fuel to the fire, but Hardy remains unconvinced. The wrestling veteran’s doubts are likely rooted in Khan’s lack of in-ring experience, as well as his pivotal role as the CEO of AEW.
In other AEW news, the company is gearing up for its sixth annual Double Or Nothing pay-per-view event, set to take place on Sunday, May 26, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The event’s card is shaping up to be an exciting one, with the recently announced Anarchy In The Arena match pitting Team AEW against The New Elite. Four championship matches have also been made official, including title bouts for the Women’s World, TBS, International, and World Championships.
While the wrestling world waits with bated breath for Double Or Nothing, the question on everyone’s mind remains: will Tony Khan take the leap and step into the ring? According to Matt Hardy, the answer is a resounding “no.” Only time will tell if the AEW CEO will prove him wrong.
