"I would have been interested in that" - Tony Khan comments on potential interest in signing former WWE Universal Champion

AEW owner Tony Khan admits that he would have been interested in signing Kevin Owens had he not re-signed with WWE.

Tony Khan recently sat down with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports to discuss all things AEW. When asked if there would have been any potential interest in signing Kevin Owens to the company next year had his WWE contract expired, Khan admitted he would have been interested and called Owens a great wrestler.

"I would have been interested in that. He's a great wrestler," Tony Khan said. "I think he ended up signing for what I believe is probably a lot of money. I think that's great and good for him. We have a lot of people spotlighted here and he's great. Any company he goes to he'll be a great wrestler for them."

Tony Khan has some tricks up his sleeve heading into 2022

While Kevin Owens won't be coming to All Elite Wrestling anytime soon, that doesn't mean Tony Khan isn't planning on adding to the company's roster in the weeks and months to come.

Last week on AEW Dynamite, the potential debuts for Kyle O'Reilly and Brody King were teased in separate segments on the show, so both men could appear for the company sooner rather than later.

There is also an abundance of names in free agency at the moment, from Bray Wyatt to The Briscoes to Danhausen. Tony Khan is no doubt aware of the immense buzz drawn to this incredible pool of talent currently populating the realm of free agency. The AEW President will be looking to enhance his already talent-filled roster as his company gears up for 2022.
