#1 AEW president Tony Khan takes a dig at WWE
AEW president and co-owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars Tony Khan recently took a shot at WWE's performance center.
After this week's Fyter Fest Night 2 of AEW Dynamite concluded, Tony Khan came out in the ring ahead of the AEW Dark: Elevation tapings. He brought some energy to fans in attendance by unveiling the entire match card for the show.
Tony Khan stated that Jungle Boy would feature in the show's opener, while Chuck Taylor and PAC will collide against each other in a singles bout, which will be the main event.
However, during the announcement, Tony Khan, in an amusing bit, stated that they don't have a performance center, unlike the other promotion (WWE). He further added that their AEW Dark and Dark Elevation are the performance centers for them. He ended his speech by saying that they have the best young wrestlers in the world:
“Thank you for being here,” Khan said. “We’re just getting started. I want to tell you a little about what’s coming. The first match we’re going to have features one of the top wrestlers in AEW. His name is Jungle Boy. We’re gonna have some great matches, including PAC vs. Chuck Taylor as the main event of Elevation. That’s a huge match. Ladies and gentlemen, we don’t have a Performance Center in AEW. This is our Performance Center. We have the best young wrestlers in the world and this is where we showcase them.” (H/T - WrestlingInc)
It looks like taking digs at WWE has become part of the to-do list for AEW. Eddie Kingston recently made headlines for mocking them over certain issues.
