During his appearance on TMZ Sports, still wearing his neck brace, AEW CEO, President and General Manager Tony Khan was asked by Mojo Rawley about all the mainstream coverage he and AEW received during the NFL Draft, as a result of wearing the brace.
Rawley also asked Khan about his comments in which he called WWE an evil juggernaut.
Khan said the following regarding his neck brace:
“I’m glad that it was so much attention for AEW. It’s a really exciting time for the company. A lot of people have been introduced to AEW this week and I know that we had a great audience for our show on Saturday.”
When asked about his comments regarding WWE being and evil juggernaut, Khan said the following:
“We got tons of coverage for AEW, and I think it is important to say that I think AEW is the best wrestling company in the world in many ways. I think that we have the best wrestlers, the best matches, we’ve been putting on the best shows. I think the best pay-per-view events this year have been the two AEW events…There are so many great things that have happened in AEW this year, and I’ll hold our track record up on anything, whether it’s the quality of the shows, the safety, the travel, the hotels. Everything we do, in and out of the ring, I think AEW is the very best.”
