Tony Khan Talks About The Origins Of AEW-IMPACT Relationship

All Elite Wrestling President and CEO Tony Khan recently spoke to Renee Paquette on her Oral Sessions podcast about the origins of the newly minted relationship formed between AEW and IMPACT Wrestling.

Tony Khan said that Kenny Omega asked him about it and that it was an idea he thought was great. Khan then said that he gives 100 percent of the credit to Omega.

This is what Tony Khan said:

“He asked me about it, and I love good ideas.” “This was something Kenny brought up that I thought was a great idea. I give 100 percent of the credit to Kenny.”

Tony Khan then talked about Kenny Omega showing a different side of himself and showing the people a different character, something that they have not yet seen.

This is what Tony Khan said:

“He just didn’t want to present the same Kenny Omega people have seen.” “He put so much thought into innovating and changing, and that’s why I always say the best wrestlers in the world, Kenny and Jon [Moxley] are the two.”

Tony Khan then talked about his recent appearances with Tony Schiavone on IMPACT, saying that he came up with the idea when they were at the show and he also said that why don’t they buy ads on IMPACT as it is great and it promotes their show and it also keeps the storyline with IMPACT going.

This is what Tony Khan said:

“While I was there, Tony Schiavone, who lives a couple of hours away, I said come hang out with me.”“And I came up with the idea, why don’t we buy ads on Impact. It’s great. It promotes our show and it also keeps the storyline with them going.”
