AEW News Roundup - Matt Hardy wants a top WWE star to jump ship, Tony Khan not a fan of wrestling veteran's gimmick, Paul Wight wants a big match (24th June 2021)

#1 Tony Khan makes a big claim while comparing AEW Double or Nothing to WrestleMania

AEW's Tony Khan has developed the knack of making statements that kick off a social media storm. Fans and pundits have had a field day following Tony Khan stating that Double or Nothing was better than WrestleMania.

Khan appeared on the Pardon My Take podcast, and the AEW boss claimed that this year's Double or Nothing was a superior show compared to WrestleMania 37.

While Khan enjoyed WrestleMania 37 and credited the WWE Superstars for working extremely hard, the AEW President still felt that Double or Nothing was the better event overall. Khan, however, wasn't done as he added that last year's Double or Nothing also blew WrestleMania 36 out of the water during the pandemic.

"I'll tell you something; Double or Nothing last year and this year, in my opinion, was a better show (than WrestleMania)," Khan said. "I liked this year's WrestleMania a lot better than last year. They had some fans this year, and everyone there worked their a** off both years. This year I thought, both (were) good shows. They did a two-night show, and it was a good show. But I thought Double or Nothing this year was outstanding, and it was the best wrestling show of the year so far. And last year, Double or Nothing, during the pandemic, it kicked the s--t out of WrestleMania last year. The pandemic version last year? Not even close. Double or Nothing was a much better show."
