AEW was established in 2019 by Tony Khan. Now in 2024, it is one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world and employs some of the most talented performers in the current day and age. Furthermore, the company has emerged as WWE's first proper rival since the "Monday Night War" days.
AEW All Out media call, Tony Khan stated that he he confident that his promotion will become the second most profitable wrestling company in history.
"I do think the die is cast that AEW is going to be the second most profitable wrestling company, at this point, of all time, which is very impressive for a promotion that is just over five years old and has been on television for less than five years," TK said [H/T Ringside News]
Interestingly, according to the legendary Kevin Nash, Khan is incorrect. On his "Kliq This" podcast, Nash said that the AEW founder's idea of long-term success is nothing more than survival. The WWE Hall of Famer added that this exact mentality bankrupted WCW and ECW.

"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," said Nash. [H/T: Ringside News]

Kevin Nash is not a fan of former WWE United States Champion, Logan Paul
In the above-mentioned podcast, Kevin Nash stated that he strongly believes that WWE star Logan Paul does not belong in the locker room. He seemingly despises the 29-year-old and is bothered that he does not interact or socialize with his peers in WWE.
"He's not one of the boys. Where would he learn that s**t yet? Where's he going up and down the road, talking our jargon? In the building? Everybody's in their own f*****g motorcoach. There's no f*****g interaction, there's no socialization," said Nash. [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
Kevin Nash is currently signed to the WWE under a Legends contract. It will be interesting to see if the former Diesel will make an onscreen appearance in the Stamford-based promotion in the near future.
