Tony Khan Thought Recent Talent Meeting Was Positive, Addressed ‘Dozens Of Points’

Ahead of the August 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, AEW reportedly held a talent meeting to address issues that had come up.

Reported issues included contract inquiries from other companies, personal issues, unrest, and more.

Fightful Select reported that Khan, Tony Schiavone, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Chris Jericho spoke at the meeting, hitting on communication and contract tampering.

During the AEW All Out media call, Khan was asked about the meeting.

“There was a meeting. We went over a lot of different things. There were dozens of points that came up, I think it was just a lot of housekeeping, honestly, and we hadn’t sat down together. We used to do this on a pretty regular basis at Daily’s Place and it’s not something we had done in a while. A variety of things came up and it’s stuff that would be good to stay behind closed doors. Some of it did stay behind closed doors, amazingly, but a lot of it came out. Some of the things I saw reported in the meeting were pretty accurate, some of the things were wildly inaccurate. It definitely, across the spectrum of reports, I saw some stuff that I was like, ‘Wow, that’s like being a fly on the wall’ and other stuff where it was, ‘Okay, that never happened.’ That’s pretty much a day in wrestling journalism. I thought it was good for us all to get together and talk about a number of things,” he said.

Khan didn’t directly mention contract tampering, but stated, “There was one issue, that had come up, that people have seen stuff written about and I don’t really want to get into it, but if someone asked me, I guess I would get into it a little more, but there were issues the talent had come to us about and said, ‘I think you should probably know about.’ Based on the talent coming to us and telling us that and giving us their feedback and telling us stuff that happened with them, to them, both in the company and things happening outside the company, from other companies even, based on what the talent was saying to us, we thought it was good to have a meeting with everybody. I thought the meeting went really well, certainly this week was really a positive week of television and good energy going into the pay-per-view.”

Fightful Select reported “AEW’s Chief Legal Officer sent a message/e-mail to WWE — specifically Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon — about contract tampering allegations.”
