In an unprecedented move that left the WWE Universe in a state of shock, AEW President Tony Khan managed to sneak a reference to his promotion during WWE RAW. The jaw-dropping moment occurred during a commercial break aired on the TNT UK channel, promoting AEW’s highly anticipated All In event at Wembley Stadium, London, this August.
The audacity and timing of this maneuver have fans buzzing and speculating about what this means for the ongoing rivalry between WWE and AEW.
As the commercial aired exclusively in the United Kingdom, fans quickly took to Twitter to express their astonishment and excitement. One fan humorously remarked, “WWE is now All Elite,” while another speculated that Tony Khan must have “paid the big bucks” to get the advertisement slot. This bold strategy not only underscores AEW’s aggressive promotional tactics but also highlights the intensifying competition between the two wrestling giants.
The timing of this advertisement is no coincidence, as All In promises to be a landmark event for AEW. With the wrestling world watching, Tony Khan is pulling out all the stops to ensure that the event is a massive success. The ad’s placement during WWE’s flagship show RAW is a testament to Khan’s determination to capture the attention of wrestling fans worldwide and elevate AEW to new heights.
Tony Khan had high praises for John Cena
Adding to the intrigue, Tony Khan recently spoke about WWE star John Cena, who announced his impending retirement from WWE at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Cena’s announcement sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, marking the end of an era for one of WWE’s most iconic figures. In a candid interview with Maggie & Perloff, Khan was asked if Cena would make his wrestling Mount Rushmore. Khan’s response was both respectful and reflective.
“That’s a great question. I think he definitely would be somebody anybody would have to consider, certainly, especially of the modern era,” Khan said. “For me… a lot of the people on my Mount Rushmore are probably people I grew up on. But there are also a lot of people I grew up not only being a fan of but have gotten to work with later in life. Sting, to me, is up there, and this past year we had Sting’s retirement in AEW, and it was probably the greatest thing we’ve ever done in AEW.”
Khan’s admiration for Cena, despite being a leader in a rival promotion, highlights the profound respect he holds for the contributions of WWE superstars. Cena’s influence has made a significant impact on Khan, who acknowledges the monumental legacy Cena leaves behind in the wrestling world.
As AEW continues to push boundaries and challenge WWE’s dominance, moments like the surprise ad on RAW serve as a reminder of the ever-evolving landscape of professional wrestling. With All In on the horizon, fans eagerly anticipate what Tony Khan and AEW have in store, knowing that the battle for wrestling supremacy is far from over.
In the world of wrestling, expect the unexpected. Tony Khan’s bold promotional strategies and genuine respect for wrestling legends like John Cena illustrate a complex and thrilling rivalry that keeps fans on the edge of their seats. As the countdown to All In continues, one thing is certain: the wrestling world will be watching closely, ready for whatever comes next.
