During an interview with Sports Illustrated, AEW president Tony Khan addressed the AEW debuts of Keith Lee and Jay White as well as Shane McMahon possibly being part of the company in the future.
Khan doesn’t think that Shane is a fit for AEW, but he would certainly listen: “I’d certainly take the call. I’m sure he’d be an interesting person to talk to about wrestling. I’m not sure exactly if he would be a fit. I have not heard from him, and I don’t expect to hear from him, but in this business, you never know.”
He then revealed that he dreamed to have Keith Lee since the WWE release happened and that Jay White will be more present in the future: “Keith’s debut was incredible. Much to my amazement, Keith got released. As soon as I saw that he was released, this was the moment I dreamed about. Expect to see more Jay White in AEW. He came through the ‘Forbidden Door’, and there were many reasons his arrival transpired the way it did on Dynamite. That wasn’t finalized until Sunday, and I’m so happy that we could bring that excitement to the fans. I wanted to have that ‘Forbidden Door’ element to our show. It was intentional to have that moment backstage, reuniting members of the Bullet Club against their old rivals from Chaos in Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta.”
