Shane McMahon Caught In Private Meeting With AEW’s Tony Khan

After weeks of speculation surrounding Shane McMahon making a shock jump to AEW, it’s now emerged he’s held a private meeting with Tony Khan.

AEW announcer Jim Ross set alarm bells ringing when he innocently commented that Shane McMahon in AEW was “so crazy it might work” on an episode of his podcast. It then emerged that McMahon had discussed a possible AEW appearance with friends in the company in what would surely be Tony Khan’s biggest coup yet.

Tony Khan initially distanced himself from suggestions about Shane McMahon appearing in AEW but the door remains open for the man who once called the WWE his family business.

And now it seems that door might be far more open than anyone realistically thought.

WrestleTalk and Fightful Select have reported that Shane McMahon held a private meeting with Tony Khan on July 29th at a private Arlington airport. A photo of the meeting can be seen below.

It was reported that Khan and McMahon’s meeting was to discuss “possibilities moving forward.” It was also confirmed that Shane McMahon is no longer under any kind of WWE contract meaning that he could appear on AEW television at any time if he so chose to.
