Tony Khan has commented on the competition between AEW and WWE, noting that the two ‘companies hate each other’.
In an interview with Indie Wire, Tony Khan shared his thoughts on the recent professional wrestling renaissance.
Khan said:
“There’s a number of big factors that would play into why wrestling has seen such a great renaissance in recent years. I think it comes from the great competition in wrestling right now, and the fact that there are so many great stars competing right now.”
“Everyone knows that the most real thing in wrestling is the competition between the companies. The companies hate each other, and it will be a natural resource that powers the industry. They want to beat each other and take everybody’s free agents, and that makes it interesting for everybody else.”
The article goes on to discuss the recent returns to WWE of The Rock and John Cena, noting that WrestleMania 40 was the ‘most viewed’ event on Peacock.
