#3. WWE veteran drops Shane McMahon bombshell after Tony Khan fiasco

Former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman has given his take on the situation. During a recent appearence on the Behind the Turnbuckle podcast, Coachman stated that it would be cool to see him appear in AEW, but if Shane had asked to run the whole show with Tony Khan, then he wouldn't be appearing in a wrestling company any time soon:

"The fact that Shane was at the Superbowl with his dad, it's like he can't figure out what he wants to do. But if that is the case, A - I would've thought that the struggles they were in and all this kind of stuff that bringing in Shane would've been cool, but it also spoke to me of why Vince never let Shane run anymore than what he did when they were in the WWE. But if Shane is asking for that, he'll never come back in any capacity in any wrestling company."

The AEW President made an appearance at Grand Slam Australia, but it wasn't received well. WCW legend Konnan indicated that the Australian crowd's overall reaction to Khan was negative, and it was clear they didn't like him. Speaking on his Keepin' It 100 podcast, the veteran would state that the audience had probably read about Tony Khan enough to know he's clueless.

Tony Khan comes out, he gets booed, it's not the first time we've seen it. It's incredible that he talks about the sickos and all these people that ... followers and all that ... they don't like him, they might like the product but they don't like him. I think they have read enough to know that the guy is pretty clueless."
