Tony Khan Discloses Name Who Would Headline AEW Hall of Fame

AEW President Tony Khan has shed light on the potential establishment of an AEW Hall of Fame, naming two iconic figures, Sting and the late Brodie Lee, as the inaugural headliners if such an endeavor were to materialize.

In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Khan expressed his admiration for Sting and Brodie Lee, highlighting their immense contributions to AEW both in and out of the ring. He emphasized the significance of honoring these two legendary champions, each with their unique legacies and impact on the promotion.

“If we ever do an AEW Hall of Fame, certainly the first two people that come to mind that we would have to honor would be Sting and Mr. Brodie Lee,” Khan remarked. “Two of the greatest champions and two of the greatest people we’ve ever had in AEW, and in very different circumstances. Sting and Mr. Brodie Lee would be great people to build any Hall of Fame class around.”

In addition to Sting and Brodie Lee, Khan also expressed a desire to immortalize Ring of Honor legend Jay Briscoe, who tragically passed away in 2023. Although Briscoe never competed within an AEW ring, Khan emphasized his significant contributions to the wrestling industry and his personal connection to the AEW locker room.

“Somebody that never got to wrestle in AEW that I also feel very strongly about, who needs to be talked about and honored, is Jay Briscoe,” Khan added. “I always wanted to bring Jay into AEW. He was my friend and was friends with a lot of people in the locker room. He was one of the greatest wrestlers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and producing for. Jay Briscoe is somebody else who is very important to all of us even though he never actually got the chance to wrestle in AEW.”

As speculation continues regarding the potential creation of an AEW Hall of Fame, fans eagerly await further developments and the opportunity to celebrate the legacies of these iconic professional wrestlers. The names mentioned by Khan undoubtedly resonate with fans, reflecting their lasting impact on the wrestling industry.

The prospect of an AEW Hall of Fame serves as a testament to the promotion’s growth and evolution over the past five years, highlighting its commitment to honoring the legends who have shaped its legacy.
