AEW President Tony Khan recently appeared on the Jon Chuckery Show where he spoke about a wide range of topics.
This includes if he’s ever considered becoming a permanent character on the show.
“First of all, I really don’t want to do that. I don’t want to attract or take away any time from the great wrestlers in AEW. So I really try to limit the on-screen appearances I make,” he said. “When I do come out, it’s generally easier to make a very special announcement or specific instructions. I believe that’s served us very well, and that’s the role I would like to keep; more of being a device on the show than actually taking up a lot of time.”
Khan believes he should keep his appearances limited on AEW programming.
“I don’t really want to be a character taking up a lot of time on the show,” he reiterated. “But, I also like answering people’s hypothetical phone questions. So I think, in my limited appearances, I do like representing the company, which is a babyface company, generally in a babyface role. I don’t think it’s really my role to be out there trying to get heat. If we needed that or were really up against it, maybe I would try that, but I don’t think there’s any need or really any demand for that. I think the way we’re doing it now is very well.”
