Why Tony Khan’s Ownership of WWE would be Disastrous for the Wrestling Industry

Within a week, a lot of changes were visible in the WWE. Vince McMahon is back in WWE, Stephanie’s resignation, and the news of the sale of the WWE company. One spark of news about the sale of WWE has shocked the WWE universe. A lot of potential buyers are available on the market. Let’s know what the news is.

WWE has been under the McMahon family rule for a very long time. Vince McMahon inherited the company from his father, and now such a big company is up for auction and for sale. A lot of buyers, such as Disney and ESPN, are looking forward to grabbing the opportunity to buy the company. Additionally, the rumor of the sale of the company to the Saudi Arabia Investment Fund has also circulated. Surprisingly, news of AEW’s CEO, Tony Khan, has also created hustle and bustle in the market. 

Is It The Worst Decision For The Wrestling Industry?

For a long time, WWE was the only viable choice for anyone who wanted to truly get wealthy in the industry. That all changed with AEW, and you started to see celebrities leave McMahon’s organization and make a legitimate living at their rival.

If Tony Khan were to acquire WWE, that would restrict the ability of the talent to leave one organization and join another if they’re not satisfied with their treatment. If Tony will control both organizations, then there will once again be no meaningful alternative to working for him, which is problematic for wrestlers like Shinsuke Nakamura who want to work in the US.
