Konnan gives a piece of advice to AEW CEO Tony Khan about The Lucha Bros
The Lucha Bros have been a part of All Elite Wrestling since 2019. They have had some exciting matchups in the promotion and are also former World Tag Team Champions. Amidst recent rumors about the duo wanting to leave the company for WWE, wrestling veteran Konnan has an interesting take on the issue.
In a recent edition of his Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan noted how The Lucha Bros are getting paid despite not wrestling in All Elite Wrestling. He advised Tony Khan to use the dou to put over other talent on their way out of the company.
"You have no idea how many complaints I hear about that, and I'll give you one good example. Have you seen Pentagon and [Rey] Fenix like in the last month or so? They're still getting paid, bro. If you're gonna pay them that type of money, use them on the way out to put people over."
The fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for The Lucha Bros in All Elite Wrestling.
