Which AEW Talent WWE Allegedly Engaged In Contract Tampering With Unveiled

WWE really wants to avoid contract tampering issues, because they are already engaged in an antitrust lawsuit with MLW. That being said, they may have an issue with WWE.

Tony Khan targeted WWE on X while claiming that WWE fans are harassing him. In addition to accusing WWE of contract tampering, he mentioned that “WWE avatar accounts” directed negative comments towards his mother while she was recuperating from a life-threatening situation follwing a near-fatal stroke.

During Fightful’s backstage podcast behind their paywall, Sean Sapp explained two occasions of contract tampering that Tony Khan was likely referring to in those tweets. TK also had a bit of a reason to be upset about things.

“I can tell you the two situations that Khan took it personally. One of which was Swerve Strickland, who signed a multi-year deal on pay-per-view, for a Hit Row reunion. He, I believe, referred WWE or WWE’s talent relations person to his lawyer.”

“Then there was the other instance, when Tony Khan’s mother was in the hospital, and while his mother was in the hospital it became abundantly clear that WWE had tampered and spoken to William Regal. They offered him a new role that they already had prepared, so that’s why he took it personal for those.”

Tony Khan will probably keep speaking his truths on social media, and you never know what he will say next. If anything, Tony Khan certainly gained a lot of engagement with those posts about WWE.

William Regal ended up leaving AEW for WWE, where he must remain off television for a year, but he is still working in the company. Swerve Strickland is a different story, as he didn’t seem as interested in having another run in WWE since he had a multi-year deal with AEW already locked in.
