A lot of things have changed in the wrestling world over the last year or so and it was reported last summer that WWE had reached out to some of the stars on the AEW roster.
Tony Khan discussed the situation on The Dan Le Batard Show, and he noted that he had a lot of AEW wrestlers who came to him claiming that WWE asked them to break their contracts with the company.
“I can’t really comment on what their (WWE) internal struggles, internal strife’s are because I don’t work there and I’m not there. I can only speak to the challenges we’ve had and I got a lot of wrestlers come to me and allege that WWE reached out to them to tamper with their contracts and ask them to break their contracts. I can’t confirm that specifically.
“I can only tell you what the wrestlers have come to me and said. But I’ve had multiple wrestlers and staff report that to me. It was very disturbing, and I’ve had to go out and try to put on good shows despite this alleged tampering, stuff like that. But frankly, I don’t think it’s stopped us because the quality of the product and the quality of the shows is at an all-time high right now.”
During the show Tony Khan said that the war between the two companies is real and, “the most intense and the most hatred in all of pro wrestling is that between the two wrestling promotions.”
