En entrevue pour Busted Open Radio cet avant-midi, sur SiriusXM, Tony Khan a été calme et serein dans ses propos en lien avec le départ de Cody et de Brandi Rhodes.
Khan a souhaité à Cody bonne chance dans ses projets, en le remerciant pour sa contribution à la AEW. Il ajoute que Rhodes a d’autres projets en cours, affirmant qu’on ne sait jamais ce qui peut arriver dans l’avenir.
“I wish them both really well and I appreciate everything they did here in their different roles in the company. It’s very sad and not something any of us wanted to happen, I think, but I believe that Cody’s got something else in the works, I’m not sure about that, but we’ll see. I’m sure they’re going to have great opportunities in wrestling and in life. You never know what’s going to happen in the future. I wish them the best and am very appreciative of everything they did here.”
Khan a par ailleurs mentionné qu’il annoncera bientôt un projet majeur qui devrait faire les manchettes la semaine prochaine. Il mentionne que ce n’est pas quelque chose qui est actuellement facile à deviner, mais ce sera une grande nouvelle pour la lutte professionnelle.
“There will be a lot of news in the week of ahead. I don’t know if I’ll get it done by tonight, but stay tuned in the week ahead, hopefully. I’m working on something pretty big. It would be massive. I don’t know if it’s what anybody would expect or think it is, but it would be a big deal in pro wrestling. I’m looking forward to hopefully making it happen. Stay tuned. I will hopefully get it done and have more to announce soon.”
Certaines rumeurs parlent d’un événement en Grande-Bretagne ou d’une nouvelle association avec New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Tony Khan is apparently working on something very big
Doesn’t sound like a debut to me. Could be the long-awaited UK show or a joint show with New Japan

Heureusement, Khan a eu droit à un câlin collectif de la part de Best Friends lors des enregistrements télé de mercredi.
Post-show, @TonyKhan said he could really use a hug, and who better to give him that than the Best Friends! pic.twitter.com/ttuf1kTa4R
