Tony Khan admits there have been big improvements made in WWE since the new regime with Triple H at the helm on the creative side of things went into effect.
During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani for BT Sports, the AEW President commented on WWE’s regime change being a chance for a ‘bigger, more fun fight.’
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On seeing WWE’s regime change as a chance for a ‘bigger, more fun fight’: “Yeah, that kind of was how I felt. I definitely am always up for the challenge, and I think there have been elements that have seen a big improvement there. And I’ve been open to say that. I think there’s been a lot of improvements there, and I definitely think for us we’ve had a lot of big improvements in recent weeks. I mean, we’re both very competitive and had been very competitive in the past obviously. And I think in this case, now hopefully going to be good for everybody.”
On WWE’s free agent interest being more similar to AEW’s now: “There’s probably a bit more similarity in what we’re looking for in terms of the profile of a free agent, which I think is already going to start being a thing. So we’ll see how that goes, I think we’re looking at more similar people. There was definitely something happening this year where there were wrestlers being released from there that came here, that I definitely believe belong on national television [and] worldwide television, that are huge stars in AEW. And some of those people I think, would have made sense. And I don’t think if there hadn’t been a switch in the person who makes that call, not sure any of those people or at least many of those people would have been released.
“And then, I think we were the benefit — the benefit of that was for AEW I think, because there’s some really good names including some I’ve mentioned that had come over this year that we were very fortunate to get. So there may be more similarity in some of the people that we’re looking at, just based on what I’ve seen.”
