During a call with the media today ahead of ROH’s Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view event on Friday night (July 26), Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston asked Tony Khan to comment on a report that AEW and Warner Bros Discovery have reached an agreement in principle on a new TV deal.
Khan said it’s premature to say a deal is in place, and talks between the two sides are still ongoing. However, as the next question was about to be asked, Khan suddenly interjected with the following accusation about WWE PR:
“I don’t usually do this, but since Brandon brought it up and asked. You know, I had a major member of the wrestling media mention to me yesterday, WWE is telling people that, and I don’t know why WWE is telling people about our media rights deal. I don’t really...understand why WWE PR calls people and talks about my business. WWE PR is telling people that the deal is done, and that the deal is done at the same level that it was gonna be our previous deal.
That’s not the case. I don’t know why WWE PR and why major wrestling media members, who are very credible and have never lied to me, I don’t know why they’re telling people that. It’s none of their business. I mean, WWE PR really gets involved in a lot of things they shouldn’t get involved in. And I can tell you that is very untrue, because when we make a deal for AEW, it’s gonna be a great deal with a big increase over what we’ve been doing. We’re in a really good position. We’ve been doing great business here despite what they’re trying to do to us. Thanks.”
Does he just live in coked out delusion 24/7?
