Tony Khan Is An Awesome Billionaire According To AEW Champion

Tony Khan AEW

A top champion in AEW enjoys working with the “awesome billionaire” that is Tony Khan.

Tony Khan is the son of Shahid Khan, who is a billionaire who owns the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars and many other businesses. Some people believe that without the elder Khan’s money, there might not be an AEW.

The good news for AEW’s future is that after five years, they secured a lucrative TV deal with Warner Bros. Discovery that will pay the company about $185 million per year for at least three years with an option for more years after that.

Mercedes Mone is one of the biggest stars in AEW after choosing to sign with them instead of going back to WWE earlier this year. Since joining AEW, all Mone has done is win matches since she’s the TBS Champion and the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion.

During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Mone praised her boss Tony Khan while also talking about how much she loved working for AEW.

“He’s an awesome billionaire. I get to learn from him every single week and just how he gets to treat people alone. Legit leaving the arena, he’ll say bye to every single worker that’s working backstage. He is just the most amazing person ever, and just him as a boss alone is just great. You can see that when you watch AEW. It’s just the best company ever, and the best wrestlers just want to be here.”

Tony Khan Believes In The AEW Roster

While some people might be critical of AEW at times for smaller crowds and television ratings being down compared to past years, Tony Khan believes he has built the greatest roster of wrestling talent ever.

“We have the greatest roster ever. There is an unlimited supply of huge matches. These are matches that have been building since the people arrived at AEW.”

AEW’s next major PPV show is Full Gear on November 23rd with Jon Moxley defending the AEW World Title against Orange Cassidy in one of the huge matches on the show.
