AEW President Tony Khan has separated his company from others by saying it is a legitimate competition to WWE.
AEW has certainly proven to be a success, having won over several former WWE Superstars including Chris Jericho, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and Adam Cole.
While speaking with Forbes, AEW President Tony Khan talked about the differences between AEW and other pro wrestling companies:
“None of the other wrestling companies that have come along in the last 20 years actually felt like a legitimate competitor, a real thing. They felt like fun, niche, wrestling products, and if you’re a big wrestling fan, they’re things that you might watch but they’re not going to take households by storm. They weren’t things that were going to win the night on TV.
“They might, on their night, get some wrestling fans to watch their show, but there hasn’t been anything in wrestling that’s come along in two decades that would be competitive in terms of a second national wrestling company.”
Khan is currently preparing for AEW’s next pay per view ‘Double or Nothing 2022’ which will air on May 29.
