AEW President Tony Khan has said he wanted to be a “good Samaritan” by allowing talent from his promotion to appear on a recent episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.
AEW’s Bryan Danielson, Paul Wight and Chris Jericho all appeared during the June 27, 2022 RAW, which marked the 20th anniversary of John Cena’s debut.
All three have feuded with Cena in the past, and spoke highly of the 16-time WWE World Champion.
While speaking on “The Masked Man Show”, Khan discussed the surprise appearances:
“I heard from WWE directly, they contacted me and asked if I would give them access, give them videos — if I would ask some of the wrestlers in AEW to send in tribute videos for John Cena’s 20th anniversary. I thought that was a very nice thing. It sounded like a nice event, a classy thing, and I have no problem helping out, and that was the kind of thing that, it’s not going to hurt us. And I’m happy to do the right thing and be a good Samaritan when it’s called for.”
This isn’t the first time AEW and WWE have come together, as Chris Jericho appeared on an episode of the Broken Skull Sessions last year.
