Is Tony Khan's AEW-WBD deal just smoke and mirrors, or is there real substance behind it?

Tony Khan has been relentlessly pushing to elevate AEW to new heights with a highly anticipated deal with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), but not everyone is impressed—especially the veterans of the wrestling world. This contract has been the subject of speculation for what feels like an eternity, and many seasoned voices in the industry are growing weary of the endless chatter. Among them is Eric Bischoff, a jaded wrestling veteran who recently unleashed a scathing rant about the ongoing saga.

In a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, Bischoff didn’t hold back. He zeroed in on Tony Khan and the much-discussed AEW-WBD contract, expressing his frustration at how long the deal has been dragging on. According to Bischoff, the delays are so extensive that it seems unimaginable the contract will ever come to fruition. He went further, accusing Tony Khan of being unable to seal the deal, suggesting that Khan’s inexperience or mismanagement is the root cause of the repeated postponements.

But Bischoff didn’t stop there. He ominously warned that even if the contract does finally get signed, he’s convinced something will inevitably go wrong. The veteran’s harsh critique casts a long shadow over Khan’s ambitions, adding yet another layer of tension to an already fraught situation. As the wrestling world watches and waits, the pressure on Khan to deliver has never been greater.

Not only that, but Bischoff expressed his rage, claiming that deceiving people is wrong. The WWE Legend stated in the video, “It’s bullsh*t. It’s all bullsh*t. That’s what I mean. I can’t believe anything. I don’t think that Tony Khan is intentionally misleading people. And there’s a fine line between great promotion and misleading, right? You got to be careful. But again, it’s the boy that has cried wolf so many times and failed to show up with even a poodle”

Although these were harsh words, it appears that the wrestling veteran provided a favorable update on the agreement. Yet the veteran’s harsh critique casts a long shadow over Khan’s ambitions, adding yet another layer of tension to an already fraught situation.

This suggests that an announcement will be made shortly on this partnership, revealing the new features that will be implemented in AEW. The agreement became excessively delayed, and Tony Khan will hopefully issue a decent remark regarding the circumstances at the time of announcement. Fans may just wait and see whether this report is genuine and the agreement is inked.
