Tony Khan Is Targeting Triple H’s Close Friends as New Signings Just Days Before AEW Collision’s First Episode

WWE is one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world, however, for the past few years, Tony Khan’s AEW has risen to the occasion. AEW has turned out to become one of the fiercest rivals of WWE in the town.

Recently, after WWE announced Money in the Bank in London, AEW also came forward with AEW: All In at the Wembley Stadium in London as well. However, they have not stopped there. With the first episode of their latest show Collision nearing, Tony Khan and AEW now plan on roping in a very close friend and associate of WWE’s Triple H into their company.

Which close friend of Triple H is Tony Khan and AEW targeting?

As per a report by Wrestling Haus, Tony Khan intends on pulling Sean Waltman, aka X-Pac into AEW. Back in the late 90s, during the Attitude Era, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, Shawn Michaels, Chyna, and Triple H used to run things around with their DX-Generation faction in WWE.

However, long gone are those days. Although most of those members from DX are in WWE, Billy Gunn is currently enjoying his career in AEW. Wrestling Haus reported that Khan is intent on bringing Waltman to their roster, with plans of having him work with Billy Gunn. On several previous occasions, AEW tried bringing Waltman into their company and have him work alongside Gunn, only to get refused every time.

The report also clarified that Waltman is not looking for a solo appearance, and instead has long-term plans on his mind. He is reportedly also working hard to get back in shape and have an in-ring return.

Ever since AEW’s inception, the promotion has roped in several former WWE superstars, and witnessing them pulling in someone like X-Pac does not come as shocking, and fans always expected AEW to make such a move down the line.

Tony Khan created a major record with AEW: All In in London

AEW: All In is set to take place at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London in August. The show was announced soon after WWE announced their Money in the Bank PLE in London, for next month. The United Kingdom is one of the major hubs for pro wrestling, and with passionate crowds, the shows get even more hyped.

With two more months left before AEW: All In takes place, the event has already shattered major records. Dave Meltzer of WON reported how tickets have crossed 43,000 breaking AEW’s gate attendance record. The event now seems a success on paper and is the third-biggest wrestling event in the UK.

With still some time left for the event, fans are avidly waiting to see what unfolds at the Wembley Stadium.
