Nick Khan comments on AEW as competition and says WWE “won’t sign and bench people”

While appearing on The Bill Simmons Podcast, WWE President Nick Khan commented on AEW as competition…

“In terms of the other wrestling promotional company, they have a lot of talented wrestlers and we’re happy about that. When, contractually, they are available to talk to and have conversations with, assume a number of them will come over. Nothing but respect to the father [Shad Khan] who finances it and owns the Jaguars and all those other things.”

“That’s something we won’t do. We won’t sign and bench people. We sign people who we want to use. If another entity signs and benches people now, that’s not something we would do.” (quotes courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
