Tony Khan's business strategy involves working with well-known celebrities. Emmy and Golden Globe award winner Paul Walter Hauser is a longtime fan of professional wrestling, and he has been seen on AEW programming several times. Interestingly, the 38-year-old is a part-time wrestler. He was recently spotted wearing a ROH cap.

Furthermore, Khan confirmed in his interview with My Mom's Basement with Robbie Fox that the Michigan native was going to make his Ring of Honor debut soon.

Dutch Mantel is unhappy with the way Tony Khan booked Jake Hager

Former World Heavyweight Champion Jake Hager was signed to AEW from 2019 to 2024. Unfortunately, his time in the company was underwhelming.

In a recent appearance on UnSKripted, Hager's former manager expressed disappointment with the 43-year-old's booking in WWE as well as in All Elite Wrestling.

"I have no idea why, they just like clipped the umbilical cord, and we were out floating in space. And even when he left and went to AEW, it was more of the same. They didn't do anything with him there." said Mantel.

Earlier this year, Hager announced his retirement from professional wrestling. Only time will tell what the future holds for him.
