Tony Khan comments on Becky Lynch’s contract situation

AEW President Tony Khan has spoken out about Becky Lynch and her contract situation with the WWE. Khan has signed up WWE talents in the past and he could do that once again with Lynch.

However, he decided to keep it classy while addressing it and said that it is good for business. He was speaking on the Rich Eisen Show when he said:

"I don't want to try to tamper and do those things. I try to keep it classy, and I really have a reputation for honesty, and I really want to be a fair businessman. The wrestling business is a really cutthroat business."

If Tony does indeed manage to get Lynch to AEW, it will be a move that will cause a great deal of shock within the wrestling community. As for Becky, she could be doing something new after more than a decade with WWE.
