AEW President Tony Khan addressed the recent releases from
AEW, something which he has never done and often viewed it
as a feather in his cap when comparing his practice to that
of WWE.
Khan admitted that sometimes you do have to make tough calls
and in order to go after top talent, he needs to have enough
money so trimming the roster where necessary is going to be
a thing.
He said that Anthony Henry will be re-hired after he heals
from the broken jaw injury he’s suffering, an injury he got
wrestling at an indie show not related to AEW.
He also added that Brandon and Brent Tate of The Boys were
let go after they repeatedly missed shows they were supposed
to be on.
Khan’s first question was about CM Punk and his recent
interview but Khan refused to answer and no one bugged him
again about the subject. Khan also did not want to talk when
the AEW television rights with WBD will exactly expire, just
noting it will be “soon.”
Khan was speaking to the media ahead of ROH Supercard of
Honor tomorrow.
