Nick Khan: “I’ve Never Met the kid Tony Khan, Seems Like a Nice Kid to Me”

WWE CEO Nick Khan was recently interviewed on the Bill Simmons Podcast, where he discussed a number of topics. Among them were the idea that AEW is competition, his relationship to Tony and Shad Khan and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On if he sees AEW as competition:

“Well how do you think they’re doing now? Simmons responded, “Not as well although I think they are having a better 2023 than 2022.”

On his relationship with Tony Khan:

“I think a couple of things. I’ve never met the kid Tony Khan, seems like a nice kid to me. I don’t know him. I have met his dad who randomly I sat next to at some sports business luncheon that Stephanie and I went to a year and a half or so.”

On Shad Khan:

“I could not be more impressed with the dad. He made his money in the auto parts business, I believe. So he knows that inside out. I don’t believe he’s involved on the wrestling side of the business, outside of financing it. He has the pockets and that’s awesome and I’m sure his kid appreciates it. I was never threatened by that. I tend not to be threatened. I don’t feel threatened by anyone on anything…”

“I don’t care what anyone else is doing. I care what we’re doing. As long as we can have the best product on with the best talent and the best writers, I think we’re gonna be in good shape.”
