Tony Khan has gained a lot of attention for his passion and dedication to professional wrestling. He has established himself as an authentic fan and enthusiast of the sport, and this genuine love for wrestling has connected with fans. However, his constant attacks at WWE have only backfired in a big way. In fact, he brought up WWE’s court filings to claim that AEW could beat WWE in a fight.
Tony Khan has been vocal about the competition between AEW and WWE, recently claiming that there’s a “real war” between the two companies, based on what people have alleged. However, some critics have argued that AEW will never be able to compete with WWE and come out on top.
In a Twitter exchange, which included a Soprano’s meme, Tony Khan responded to this criticism by stating that it is actually untrue according to WWE’s own sworn court filings. This suggests that there is evidence to support the idea that AEW can compete with WWE and potentially even come out ahead.
That’s actually untrue according to their own sworn court filings.
Although Tony Khan did not specify which court filings he was referring to, it’s possible that he was alluding to a recent lawsuit filed against WWE by MLW. In this lawsuit, MLW claimed that WWE had attempted to limit competitors’ ability to monetize their content, tampered with talent, and prevented competitors from using certain venues.
In March 2022, a motion to dismiss the case was filed, in which WWE acknowledged the success of AEW as an example that “undercuts MLW’s unsupported assertion that substantial barriers to entry exist.” This acknowledgement suggests that WWE views AEW as a legitimate competitor.
Khan has previously accused WWE of tampering with the contracts of AEW talent, claiming that the company has contacted “a lot” of AEW wrestlers who are currently under contract. This further underscores the competition between AEW and WWE.
In addition, Tony Khan has also discussed his investigation into anti-AEW bots on social media, suggesting that there may be efforts to undermine AEW’s success. Overall, these developments suggest that the competition between AEW and WWE is real and ongoing and that Khan is willing to defend his company’s ability to succeed against its larger rival.
