AEW President Tony Khan broke his silence on making a bid to
buy WWE back in 2023 during an appearance on The Coach and
Bro podcast with Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo.
While kept secret for a few years, the bid, through another
company called Base 10, was for $6.9 billion and ultimately
fell short of what it intended to do, with the offer being
the lowest one out of the bunch.
“I was very interested in the process and I think that if
there was going to be a sale I would at least want to have a
chance to be involved and if it had gone for any less than
that I would have really kicked myself,” Khan said, speaking
about the subject for the very first time.
Asked if he had a chance to counter-bid or see any other
information, Khan said he doesn’t have any complaints about
the process from his side and while there were some stuff
that he can’t talk about due to the confidentiality
agreement, he’s happy with how things went.
Quizzed about the $6.9 billion figure which was published in
the WWE shareholders lawsuit, Khan said it’s not something
that he’s talked about or act big league about.
“You know, I’ve really tried to focus on the wrestling show
and that was several years ago and and thankfully those have
been really good years for AEW,” he said.
