Wrestling journalist speculates on the possibility of Tony Khan buying WWE

Vince's retirement may create an opportunity for Tony Khan The wrestling would was struck by the recent blockbuster announcement that would be retiring as WWE Chairman, CEO, and Head of Creative. It has been pondered as to whether or not AEW President Tony Khan could acquire his rival promotion. After Vince McMahon announced his retirement, WWE confirmed that moving forward, Chairwoman and President Nick Khan would be co-CEOs of the company. Discussing the speculation surrounding AEW President Tony Khan potentially sending over offers, Dave Meltzer noted the following on : "Tony himself on this day does not have the money to buy, but would he have the contacts to put a proposal together? Would he want to do it? I think he would want to, but could he pull it off?" I don’t rule that one out either. That would be the irony of all ironies, but it’s not like if Tony goes in there and goes ‘you know what, I want to own both top companies’ and he gets the right contacts, partners and capital, there’s not going to be a thing in WWE where they go ‘he started the opposition, we’re never going to sell to him.’" (H/T ) Thanks to you wrestling fans and your great support of , I’m grateful to now be the longest-tenured CEO in pro wrestling.

The People's Champion has long been tied to new co-CEO Nick Khan and even purchased the XFL from Vince after it was revived. "Dwayne loves pro wrestling, it was his family’s business, and his daughter is now in it. This is not some weird fantasy, this is absolutely something that can be viable," Meltzer said. In any case, Vince's retirement has sent shockwaves through the world of pro wrestling. While Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon have assumed power as co-CEOs, Bruce Prichard has taken the reins creatively.
