Tony Khan Reveals Whether He Recieved Heat From NJPW for His Infamous Promo on WWE

Tony Khan, the main man at AEW, recently took a shot at WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling having a conversation about working together. Not only this, he specifically targeted one man, WWE’s president, Nick Khan.

Now, Tony Khan has revealed that New Japan Pro Wrestling reacted positively to his barb at Nick Khan.

Some fans believe that’s not possible considering he also involved NJPW in his promo. However, Tony Khan was clever enough to not attack NJPW in his promo but only take shots at Nick Khan.

It’s unlikely that he will do anything which will negatively affect his working relationship with the NJPW.

In fact, when he was asked why he cut that promo, he revealed he asked New Japan Pro Wrestling about it, and they thought it was a good idea and a great promo. Hence, Khan went ahead with it.

Tony Khan made a huge claim about himself in the promo

In his promo, Tony Khan told Nick Khan that WWE has been talking to NJPW for two months now, but he already has cosmic plans with NJPW. Moreover, he claimed he is the only Khan who has a place in the wrestling industry.

“Well, Nick, I have to say if you’ve been talking to New Japan Pro Wrestling for the last two months you’ve gotten a lot done! Just in the last two weeks I’ve had Yuji Nagata, Ren Narita, Rocky Romero on AEW. I’ve reunited Roppongi Vice. I’ve had the New Japan IWGP U.S. Champion Jon Moxley defend the title successfully on our show, retaining it.

“I have future plans with New Japan Pro Wrestling for the U.S. title. So you must have really gotten a lot done in the last two months, Nick. In fact, I think there’s only room for one Khan in the wrestling business, Nick, and it’s me, it’s Tony Khan. It’s not some conman from Connecticut. Have a fun show tonight, Nick. See you on Dynamite.”

Undoubtedly, Tony Khan is growing AEW at an accelerated rate. However, it’s going to be a while before he can actually catch up with WWE.

Previously, Eric Bischoff had revealed that Vince McMahon doesn’t care about AEW’s growth because he knows where WWE stands in the wrestling industry.
