Tony Khan secretly hires two major names to AEW [Reports]

Tony Khan's journey in the world of professional wrestling has been historic. By co-founding AEW in 2019, he established the biggest rival promotion to WWE since the late 1990s. Furthermore, in 2022, he became the owner of the Ring of Honor promotion. ROH now acts as All Elite Wrestling's sister promotion.

Throughout AEW's existence, Tony Khan has taken various steps to make his brainchild a worldwide phenomenon. He hired top independent talents and former WWE stars and has also signed many names who are potentially future GOATS. All Elite Wrestling's pay-per-views are arguably unmissable. This has been possible primarily due to Khan's vision, business decisions, and emphasis on in-ring action. As per Fightful Select, the 42-year-old recently hired two revered names in management positions.

One of them is Brandon Mazzei, who was once under WWE's banner. The other name is social media and digital expert Andrew Lynch. According to Lynch's LinkedIn handle, he has worked at ESPN and FOX Sports. Furthermore, he has a bachelor's degree in political science and government from the University of Arizona.
