Tony Khan has been widely renowned as a pioneer in the wrestling world. But it is very much known that he has his fingers in other sports as well, including football with his association with the popular EPL club, Fulham.
The AEW President was recently spotted to be in attendance for Fulham’s recent match against another English Premier League club, Aston Villa on February 17.
Tony was accompanied by his AEW roster members, Darby Allin, and the AEW International champion, Orange Cassidy. Moreover, Khan was seated next to Jesse Armstrong, the creator of the television show Succession.
However, it was not a good day in paradise for him as his team, Fulham lost to Aston Villa by a 2-1 score. But his misery did not stop there as the victor club decided to troll Tony Khan even further.
Aston Villa took to their official X account to post a video of AEW star Prince Nana dancing with the match score displayed on the same, taking an indirect shot at Khan’s club losing the match.
“HIT THE MUSIC UP THE VILLA.”
On the wrestling side, Tony Khan has been very active in bringing new superstars to AEW with the latest speculated to be former WWE star, Mercedes Mone who is rumored to debut at their special show next month in Boston, AEW Big Business.
