AEW President Tony Khan reportedly has a private meeting with Shane McMahon

Earlier this month, there was internet speculation surrounding Shane McMahon potentially working with AEW. During the Grilling JR podcast, Conrad Thompson said the following to Jim Ross about the idea of Shane in AEW…

“There was a friend of ours, I shouldn’t say their name, but he went out of his way to text me and say, ‘Hey, that’s not as crazy as you think. I know for sure that Shane McMahon has reached out to wrestlers on the AEW roster to at least hypothetically discuss the idea.'”

According to WrestleTalk.com and Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com, AEW President Tony Khan met with Shane in an office at a private Arlington, Texas airport on Monday, July 29th 2024. WrestleTalk noted the following…

“Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has confirmed with sources that the meeting did take place, with Khan and McMahon discussing ‘possibilities moving forward’. Sapp noted that Khan had been ‘open’ to talking with McMahon for a while, but it’s believed they’d never met – or even spoken – before the rumors about McMahon possibly joining AEW emerged recently. Khan is said to have been ‘very open’ to ‘using’ Shane McMahon for several weeks now, and has also made it clear that he was open to the idea of talking to McMahon when people have brought the topic up to him backstage.”
