Karen Jarrett on Tony Khan: “That man gets so much sh*t online that he does not deserve”

Tony Khan during the AEW Forbidden Door 2026 media scrum.

Karen Jarrett recently discussed AEW/Tony Khan following the release of the TNA Dark Side of the Ring episodes (Parts 1 and 2). Speaking on Jeff Jarrett’s My World podcast, Karen claimed that Khan gets “so much sh*t online” that she feels is unwarranted.

Jarrett was a big part of the recently released Dark Side of the Ring episodes on TNA, where she appeared to clarify and dispute claims that her and Jeff Jarrett had an affair. Jarrett notes that her and Kurt Angle’s marriage had already ended by the time she started dating Jeff, saying that the rumor and innuendo going round the locker room was spurious.

Comparing Tony Khan and Dixie Carter, Jarrett would say that they are practically polar opposites, in that Khan will go “above and beyond” to compensate talent:

“That man gets so much sh*t online that he does not deserve. He is one of the kindest human beings that I’ve met. I can say this, since we’re on the subject of these two people, where Dixie wouldn’t compensate talent or female wrestlers, Tony Khan goes above and beyond to compensate his wrestlers and the people that work for him. Maybe sometimes too much, but he takes care of the people who work for him no matter what level you’re on.”
