Tony Khan says he thought WWE bid was ‘a very reasonable number’
Tony Khan said his WWE bid back in 2023 was reasonable.
It was recently revealed that the AEW president put in a $6.9 billion dollar bid for WWE back when it was up for sale. In an interview with Vince Russo & Jonathan Coachman, Khan said he though what he had offered was reasonable, and would have kicked himself if he didn’t at least make an offer.
“I was very interested in the process and I think that if there was going to be a sale, I would at least wanted a chance to be involved. If it had gone for any less than that, I would have really kicked myself,” he said.
“While respecting the confidentiality of that, I would say I don’t have any complaints about that process from my side right now,” he continued. “While respecting the confidentiality of the whole thing, I also would say that, at the time, that seemed like to me, just reiterating, if it had gone for any less I would have kicked myself. Why wouldn’t you put in a bid. I thought it was a very reasonable number.”
Khan’s bid came to light as part of an ongoing lawsuit between shareholders and WWE, with plantiffs questioning WWE’s eventual sale to Endeavor. WWE’s new parent company has since combined WWE and UFC into one corporate entity, TKO.
