The co-founder of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Shahid Khan made his debut in a surprising turn of events during a recent AEW show on April 24. It was a notable moment for AEW, as Khan had previously been hesitant about the idea of backing a startup wrestling promotion. Khan’s debut at the event generated a positive response from the crowd in Jacksonville, where he owns the Jaguars NFL team. This move was significant, considering his initial reservations about supporting the venture.
The Elite members Nick and Matt Jackson, co-founders of AEW along with Tony Khan, were involved in a storyline that led to Khan’s unexpected appearance in the ring. This development added an intriguing twist to the ongoing narrative within the company. Khan’s involvement in AEW is noteworthy given his background and initial skepticism about the concept. Despite his initial doubts, AEW has since become one of the most valuable combat sports promotions globally, with a worth of $2 billion.
Khan’s admission of his initial doubts about AEW’s prospects, followed by his eventual support and involvement, reflects an interesting journey for the promotion. This development underscores the dynamic nature of AEW’s growth and success in the wrestling industry.
