Tony Khan In Pool Of Potential Buyers For WWE

AEW President Tony Khan truly loves professional wrestling, and no one can doubt that fact. Khan is also a very wealthy man, as he is already the co-owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars and the English soccer club Fulham Football Club, alongside his father Shahid Khan. With WWE possibly getting sold to the highest bidder being a reality now, it seems Tony Khan and his father are in the pool of potential buyers for WWE.

As fans know by now, Vince McMahon came back to WWE last week and immediately became part of the Board Of Directors. He then regained control of the company’s Board of Directors as the Executive Chairman of WWE, shocking fans.

A report emerged that WWE has agreed to sell the company to Saudi Arabia. However, those rumors turned out to be false as reports have stated that WWE has not been sold to Saudi Arabia.

According to a report by Barrons, The Wall Street Journal‘s sister publication, noted that Tony Khan and his father are in the pool of potential buyers for WWE. It was added that they could look for a financial partner to acquire WWE.

All Elite Wrestling—the top rival to WWE, led by Tony Khan and family—is in the pool of potential buyers for WWE, a person close to the potential transaction told Barron’s, adding that the Khans will likely look for a financial partner to acquire the asset. Tony Khan’s father Shahid Khan, a co-owner of AEW, already owns the football team Jacksonville Jaguars and the English soccer club Fulham Football Club, indicating the duo have deep pockets.

The Rock is also unlikely to purchase WWE. We will have to wait and see whether Tony Khan will end up purchasing WWE. After all, that would be the biggest win for Tony Khan and fans certainly want to see that happen.
