Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez gave some insight into the reaction to Khan’s comments in both WWE and his own AEW, and it seems stars in both companies found some common ground:

“I talked to people in both companies, and I will say this about what he said…I can tell you from talking to people in AEW – obviously the WWE people thought it was ridiculous that he said it – but I heard people in AEW saying the same thing. A lot of it.

When people in WWE, and when people in AEW, who have a lot of friends in WWE, see Tony accusing the entire company – ‘The entire company is evil, we are battling an evil company’ – a lot of people take exception to that. The truth is in the middle. It is not only Vince, but it is certainly not the entire company.”
