AEW’s Tony Khan Levels Serious Charges Against WWE Amidst Personal Turmoil
The wrestling landscape is no stranger to controversies, and the latest one involves AEW’s Tony Khan and the wrestling behemoth, WWE. In a series of candid social media posts, Khan has accused WWE of contract tampering with AEW stars, adding a deeply personal touch to his allegations.
Khan’s revelations come when he’s been particularly vocal on social media, taking jabs at WWE’s higher-ups and commenting on Shawn Michaels’ booking decisions for NXT. His recent posts, however, have taken a more serious tone. Khan alleges that during a challenging period when his mother was undergoing treatment at the Mayo Clinic, several AEW talents approached him with claims of WWE’s attempts to induce them to breach their contracts. These allegations transcended business boundaries for Khan, making it a deeply personal matter.
He stated, “This weekend marks 1 year since Mayo Clinic saved my mom’s life. During her ordeal, many AEW talent came to me alleging WWE tampering, inducing them to break their contracts. I’ll never forget these phone calls at her side in the hospital. It’s when business became personal for me.”
As of now, WWE has maintained silence on these accusations. It’s worth noting that WWE is currently embroiled in an antitrust lawsuit with MLW, making the topic of contract tampering sensitive.
The wrestling community awaits further developments on this front, and it remains to be seen how this saga will unfold.
