Tony Khan was recently in a conversation with the Denver Post, where he spoke about WWE possibly seeing AEW as competition.
Khan said that it is helping his company build fans and he is also sure of the fact that other wrestling companies are paying attention to that. Khan further spoke about his promotion's good relationship with fellow wrestling companies and they are catching a lot of eyeballs at the moment:
"I’m a big wrestling fan and I would say, objectively, AEW is the hottest wrestling company right now. So many people who watch wrestling know that AEW’s gaining ground, AEW is hitting all-time highs. It’s helping us build new fans, it’s helping people want to take the leap and check the shows out. I’m sure other wrestling companies are paying attention to that. We have great relationships with a lot of wrestling companies that know what’s going on with AEW. I think if you work in the wrestling business, you’re following what we’re doing and the success we’re having. We’re catching a lot of eyeballs outside of the world of wrestling and mainstream attention, so you better believe in the world of wrestling, people are paying very close attention to it," said Tony Khan.
During the conversation, Tony Khan also claimed that AEW is the hottest pro wrestling company right now. Khan mentioned that the people who have been watching the product know that the promotion is gaining ground right now and is hitting an all-time high.
