Tony Khan Labeled as The ‘Alpha Male’ in AEW

AEW President Tony Khan is undeniably passionate about the pro wrestling business, but many people have grown frustrated with his booking decisions and online antics. Despite this, Khan has now been labeled as the alpha male in AEW.

Earlier this year, Jim Ross inked one-year deal with the company, marking his return to an active role on the commentary team. There is simply no doubt that he has high regard for Tony Khan, especially after working under someone like Vince McMahon for so many years.

While speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross noted that just like Vince McMahon, Tony Khan has his hands in everything as Ross labeled Tony Khan as the alpha male in AEW.

“I’ve been really enjoying Collision here lately, that team who writes that are doing a real good job, and I know it’s spearheaded by Tony Khan. There’s no doubt who’s the alpha male in that company, and that’s a good thing …. That’s how it was when I first went to WWE with Vince. He had his hand in everything, t-shirt designs, ticket prices, on-sale dates, venues, everything, every single thing, and because that’s what he wanted, and he liked to be deeply involved.”

Tony Khan also allegedly banned AEW talent from watching the Royal Rumble last year. Regardless, Khan will continue to run AEW in the way he sees fit and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.
