Kenny Omega will be making his return to All Elite Wrestling on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, and Tony Khan believes it’s the perfect time for it to happen.
During a recent appearance on TMZ Sports, the AEW President commented on Omega’s return to TV, AEW nearing five years in exitance, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Kenny Omega’s return to TV: “We’ve got Wednesday night Dynamite coming up live in Winnipeg, and it’s really exciting. We have the return of Kenny Omega and to be honest with you Mojo, for me it’s the perfect time for Kenny Omega to come back to AEW. I know Kenny Omega and I probably have some of the same enemies in AEW right now, as Kenny Omega was fired by Matthew and Nicholas Jackson out of the Elite last month.”
On the company nearing five years in existence: “It’s a really exciting time for the company. We’re approaching our five-year anniversary show and just, so many great things happening in AEW.”
Speaking of Tony Khan, Don Callis recently appeared on the “Battleground Podcast” to discuss The Elite’s recent attack on their boss, Khan wearing a neck brace during the NFL Draft, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On The Young Bucks attacking Tony Khan: “The Young Bucks, who to me have been the most obsequious, annoying punks that I’ve ever been around in professional wrestling, they’re finally doing now what I encouraged them to do three years ago, use the EVP titles for your own benefit. They finally figured it out. They’re not that smart. If you were smart, you wouldn’t live in a place like Rancho Cucamonga in a compound. Who wants their family around them all the time? It’s terrible. People say you can’t choose your family. I’ve chosen mine because the one you get saddled with at birth is not always the one that works out for you. So what I will say is, they have attacked Tony Khan, which to me was quite shocking. You want to talk about the golden goose, Tony’s the reason we’re all here. I don’t always see eye-to-eye with Tony, but Tony’s the man in terms of us all having a place to ply our trade.”
On Khan wearing the neck brace during the NFL Draft: “I am a big NFL Draft junkie, and I was hunkered down for four straight hours, five hours, watching the NFL Draft. I have to say, I was pretty impressed with Tony Khan showing up at that thing, neck brace on, whatever. Tony might not be seven feet tall and 400 pounds, but boy, I’ll tell you, the kid’s got a set of balls on him. So I got a new respect for Tony Khan, seeing him step in, doing that deal at the draft. Great to see him and his father there.”
On what’s next in the matter: “So I don’t know what is gonna come of this. It terrifies me, the thought of the Young Bucks actually running a wrestling promotion. That’s scary for me. Are we gonna be doing pay-per-views in Rancho Cucamonga? I don’t know. But I am actually watching that with a lot of interest to see how Tony is gonna handle disciplining these two brat punk kids.”
