Tony Khan recently spoke about the prospect of AEW stars jumping ship to WWE under their new regime. Since Triple H took over the reins from Vince McMahon as the Head of Creative and Talent Relations, fans have been pondering on AEW stars potentially making a switch. Fightful Select has even fueled those speculations via a report claiming that multiple former NXT Superstars, including some in AEW now, have implied that they wouldn't have left the company had The Game been running things earlier. Speaking with SportsGrid, Mr. Khan divulged that he's concerned "more so than ever" about his talents possibly considering options once they hit free agency: "I think that’s always been a concern, but now probably more so than ever, I imagine great wrestlers are going to be in demand. And again, I think this is probably going to be good for the wrestling fans because that’s one of the most exciting things about pro wrestling: free agency. It’s one of those things that was really missing from the sport for almost two decades before AEW came in, because there was not a legitimate competitor in the free agent market, and now there is," Khan said. On the brighter side, Mr. Khan believes the competition is going to be healthier, and wrestling fans are certain to enjoy a top-notch product on both sides: "It’s going to change the competition, but I think that’s a good thing. AEW’s got a big fan base. We’re on in 130 countries now around the world, and here in the U.S, we’ve built a great fanbase … And the competition is going to change. It’s a different person in the chair, opposite me, but I don’t think that’s going to be a bad thing for the wrestling fan necessarily," he added.
