Tony Khan is proud that some of the top wrestlers in the world are part of the All Elite Wrestling roster.

Two of All Elite Wrestling's biggest stars are former WWE Champions Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley. Last week, the two men shared the ring on AEW Dynamite and captivated the audience with a promo that teased what might happen next between them.

Ahead of this week's episode of AEW Dynamite, the company founder sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated to discuss a wide variety of subjects. While speaking about the in-ring segment last week between Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson, Khan made it clear that he always listens when AEW fans respond to something.

"I was very impressed and thrilled with the excitement and the buzz of Danielson and Moxley in the ring together," Tony Khan said. "We’ve been building to that moment, and people are very interested in what Danielson had to say and Moxley’s reaction to it. When our fans respond, I’m always listening."

Tony Khan on Bryan Danielson's value off-screen

Bryan Danielson has been valuable to All Elite Wrestling on Dynamite every week. Khan went on to reveal that he's also a valuable resource backstage, citing Danielson's work with Jade Cargill as an example.

"Off-screen, Bryan is such a valuable resource,” Tony Khan said. "I recently asked him and Jade Cargill, who is already starting an amazing run as our TBS Champion, to work together. I think Bryan is the world’s greatest pro wrestler, and he has such valuable insight. Jade is incredibly driven, and Bryan’s been a great mentor to her so far."
