WWE CEO Nick Khan has commented on Shahid and Tony Khan, calling the latter/AEW President a “nice kid.”
Nick Khan, who is no relation to the father-son duo, become WWE’s sole CEO earlier this month following the resignation of Stephanie McMahon.
On the Bill Simmons Podcast, Nick Khan commented on the AEW President, who he admits he has never met. He said,
“I’ve never met the kid, Tony Khan, seems like a nice kid to me, [but] I don’t know him.”
Speaking about Shahid Khan, Nick had plenty of praise for the billionaire, adding:
“I’ve met his [Tony Khan’s] dad, who randomly I sat next to at some sports business luncheon that Stephanie and I went to a year and a half or so ago. I thought the dad was [as] impressive as can be. I think there was a piece on him in The New York Times, a year or so prior to that. Self-made billionaire, I believe Pakistani immigrant. Could not be more impressed with him.”
Last week, Tony Khan confirmed that he is interested in possibly purchasing WWE, saying he is keeping a close eye on the ongoing sales talks.
