Within one response regarding AEW’s media rights deal with WBD, Khan commented on WWE.
Tony Khan would tell the media on the call that he has been informed that WWE PR “calls people” to talk about AEW, and their claims regarding negotiations are incorrect.
Tony Khan said:
“I don’t know why WWE is telling people about our media rights deal. I don’t know whether it’s any of their business. 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 going to be our previous deal. That’s not the case.
“It’s none of their business. I think WWE PR really gets involved in a lot of things they shouldn’t get involved in.
“I can tell you that is very untrue. When we make a deal for AEW, it’s going to be a great deal with a big increase over what we’ve been doing.
“We’re in a really good position and have been doing great business here despite what they’re trying to do to us.”
WBD recently made news when another major sports property that had been under their brand, the NBA, elected to return to NBC Sports in lieu of renewing with WBD.
