Tony Khan has commented on the recent meeting between former WWE star Shane McMahon and Mercedes Mone after the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door. The son of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, is a future Hall of Famer. Recently, Shane has sparked unique reports about his potential move to AEW.
Last week, following AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door, Mercedes Mone had a great night. Mone defeated her opponent, Stephanie Vaquer. Vaquer, who recently signed with WWE, faced Mone in a match where the latter retained the TBS Championship and also claimed the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship.
Following her victory over Vaquer, Mone bumped into her WWE colleague Shane McMahon. As per reports, Mercedes Mone and Shane McMahon encountered each other at LaGuardia Airport in New York.
The meeting between Shane McMahon and Mercedes Mone was also confirmed by Mone herself when she shared her experience in her newsletter. Recently, Tony Khan, the President of All Elite Wrestling, has given his thoughts on the matter.
Shane McMahon’s AEW arrival would be ‘shocking,’ says Tony Khan
AEW President Tony Khan recently appeared on the Maggie & Perloff show, where he was asked about the recent encounter between Shane McMahon and Mercedes Mone. He also discussed the possibility of McMahon coming to AEW.
He stated, “Shane McMahon is somebody that I’ve never met, but he has a lot of experience in wrestling and a lot friends in AEW. I have never really had any conversations with him or talked to him ever. I know he ran into Mercedes Mone after Forbidden Door, which is a cool coincidence. I have never met him. I’d be open to talking to him, and he’s welcome to stop by at any time. I know that’s an interesting rumor. There have been all kinds of interesting people in wrestling to come into AEW and walk through that Forbidden Door. This might be, if it ever happens, one of the more shocking ones. Even though I’ve never talked to him, he seems like a really nice guy,”
Although Tony Khan has discussed Shane McMahon before, he has previously expressed openness to having Shane in his promotion. The potential arrival of a McMahon in All Elite Wrestling would be one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history.
