As PWMania.com previously reported, AEW President Tony Khan and Shane McMahon had a private meeting at an airport in Arlington, Texas about the possibility of working together going forward. Khan noted in the past that he was open to doing something with McMahon and Khan even praised Shane for not only his work as an executive, but as a wrestler as well.
McMahon recently gave a statement on his meeting with Khan via WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) on Busted Open Radio.
McMahon said, “Tony and I were connected through a mutual friend and we had a great meeting. We talked about many things, but mostly about our shared love for the business and the rewards and challenges of working with family. I congratulated him on the five year anniversary of AEW and look forward to how he evolves the business moving forward.”
