Khan claimed he had a serious talk with MJF and said, “We had a conversation before we came up here. We had a serious conversation, and I mean that, it’s not to be taken lightly.” The AEW Boss also addressed the fan and said, “The young man, Titus, was a real pro about it. We’ll see Titus again in AEW. I believe he’s coming to Sacramento.”

Khan said that Titus behaved like a “real champ” and handled the situation like a professional in front of the national media. However, the actual champion faltered in his behavior. “The champion didn’t act like a champion there. Titus was great,” concluded Tony Khan.

MJF might get into trouble after the serious conversation

Fans of AEW are familiar with the bad blood between the AEW president and MJF. The AEW has seen steady growth in popularity over the years, giving tough competition to Triple H’s WWE. Among all of AEW’s impressive roster, MJF stands a class apart, because of his talent and charisma.

However, both Khan and MJF have had multiple back-and-forths regarding contract disputes. Many even assumed that Friedman would jump ship to WWE at a point in time. But it hasn’t happened yet.

Many fans feel like this unprofessional act by the young AEW champion could land him in more trouble with Khan. What is your take on Tony Khan’s reaction to the shocking incident? Let us know in the comments below.
