55-year-old WWE legend could become AEW's Head booker, says Bully Ray, instead of Tony Khan

A WWE Hall of Famer, Bully Ray said that he would take the pencil of the head booker of AEW from the company President, Tony Khan, and give it to a current AEW star and veteran.

The 55-year-old WWE legend in question is Dustin Rhodes (fka Goldust). Dustin has been signed with AEW since the inception of the promotion back in 2019. Apart from being an in-ring performer, Rhodes also provides a helping hand to young talent in the company.

Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer, Bully Ray (fka Bubba Ray Dudley) feels Dustin Rhodes would make a great head booker in AEW. Speaking on the Wise Choices podcast with Eric Bischoff recently, Bully Ray explained how Tony Khan should be open-minded to the veterans in his company and Dustin should replace Tony as the head booker:

"I'm not suggesting that anybody be the booker instead of Tony Khan. What I'm suggesting is Tony Khan be more open-minded to the veterans and the creative minds that are around him and been there, and done that. If there was a gun to my head and I had to hand Tony's pencil to another person, I would hand it to somebody who had experience as a booker, or somebody who had sat under the learning tree of a booker. I.E. Dustin Rhodes." (H/T WrestlingINC)

Tony Khan is a matchmaker, not a booker, feels WWE legend

WWE legend, Bully Ray also claimed that the AEW President, Tony Khan is not a booker because he never sat under a learning tree. However, Bully also labeled Khan as a 'matchmaker.'

"Tony Khan never sat under a learning tree like all of the other great promoters of the past. In my opinion, Tony Khan is not a booker. He's a matchmaker. There's a huge difference."

Meanwhile, Tony Khan continues to have complete creative control of AEW and only time will tell if he will ever step down from the position for someone else.
