AEW is currently in a transition period as more and more debuts have been taking place over the past few months. The latest name on the agenda is Shane McMahon, who is rumored to be joining AEW soon. He ended up meeting The Young Bucks recently at the airport and now further details regarding the meeting have been revealed.
On July 29, 2024, Khan and McMahon met privately at an office near Arlington airport. It was the first time they spoke directly, although Khan had wanted to meet McMahon before.

According to Cultaholic, a source shared that The Young Bucks and Shane McMahon were on the same flight—an early morning 6:29 am ET departure from JFK Airport in New York City to Salt Lake City, Utah. This route is often used for connecting flights to California.
The source also mentioned that the three were seen chatting and laughing before boarding. Shane sat right behind The Young Bucks in first class, but he said it was just a “coincidence” that they ended up on the same flight.
