AEW’s financial status questioned as 2024 concludes

AEW's financial status has been questioned as 2024 comes to a close. A veteran of the industry has expressed his thoughts about the Tony Khan-led company.

Tony Khan has been working tirelessly to make AEW a global brand and in that pursuit, he has looked at a lot of avenues. One of those successful instances was when he penned a deal with Warner Bros for $185 million a year. That comes with the potential to get an even bigger amount largely depending on the success. Kevin Nash, however, has questioned the promotion's valuation.

Based on the recent deal, the valuation of the company has been set at $2 billion. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has taken exception to that figure and called it out on a recent episode of his Kliq This podcast.

"AEW's not even worth the $2 billion after taxes. WWE's got a $5 billion contract and AEW's got a three year, $450 million contract. You tell me." [H/T Wrestling Inc]

This is not the first time Kevin Nash has called out AEW

Kevin Nash has been critical of All Elite Wrestling for a long time and he does not mince his words when it comes to making his feelings known.

He often compares them to WCW and points out how things are eerily similar between the two companies. A few months back, Tony Khan claimed that All Elite Wrestling was going to be the second most profitable wrestling company.

Nash did not buy into that and disagreed on an earlier episode of his Kliq This podcast.

"WCW went bankrupt. ECW went bankrupt. It’s like the cockroach saying I’m the superior being because when all this fu***** s*** plays out, I’ll still be here."

It will be interesting to see how things turn out for Tony Khan in the new year. He will hope that Worlds End was a preview of things to come.
