President of All Elite Wrestling, Tony Khan, left no stones unturned while taking a dig at WWE boss Vince McMahon. It is believed that since the 39-year-old Tony Khan started AEW, Vince McMahon’s company has been under threat. However, Mr. McMahon doesn’t care about rival competitors as he looks forward to running his business instead of poking his nose into other’s businesses.

When WWE superstars Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of WWE Raw on May 16, they created a storm in the pro wrestling industry. Well, AEW President had some comments on that incident. Last week, Billionaire Tony Khan was invited to share his experience with The Forbes.

“These people [AEW stars] have told Tony that he knows what he’s doing because they want their jobs, want him to be happy and be their friend, and want their checks. Did I mention their money? And he believes them. And now he thinks he’s got it handled,” Jim Cornette added.
