Top Female AEW Star Interested In Tony Khan, Claims Veteran

Tony Khan may be known to the world as the head of AEW and a sharp-minded businessman, but according to wrestling veteran Vince Russo, his appeal might go beyond boardrooms and booking sheets.

Khan has long maintained a low profile when it comes to his personal life. He rarely speaks publicly about relationships, and there’s no official information indicating that he’s dating anyone. Still, that didn’t stop Russo from floating a bold and somewhat cheeky theory on his Behind the Turnbuckle Studios’ Coach and Bro podcast.

Vince Russo Claims Mercedes Moné Might Be Interested in AEW President Tony Khan

On the latest episode, Russo claimed that one of AEW’s female stars may have her eye on the AEW President. After weeks of teasing the identity, Russo finally named the person he had in mind: The CEO, Mercedes Moné.

“Oh, I never did. [It is] Sasha Banks. Oh, Mercedes Moné. That is a Mercedes Moné play if I ever saw it,” Russo said during the podcast.

While Russo made it clear that his statement was speculative and delivered in a light-hearted tone, the comment quickly caught fire online. He implied that aligning personally or professionally with someone like Tony Khan wouldn’t be the best strategic move, especially in an industry where politics often influence opportunities.

Mercedes Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, has become one of the most prominent faces in AEW since her debut. Known for her charisma and championship pedigree, she has continued to make waves with fans and critics alike.

She is currently preparing for one of the biggest matches of her AEW career, where she will challenge Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s Championship at All In: Texas.
