WrestleTalk and Fightful have learned that AEW CEO Tony Khan had a private meeting with Shane McMahon this week.

We can report that the meeting took place in an office at a private Arlington airport on Monday, July 29, 2024. You can see a photo of McMahon and Khan together below.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has confirmed with sources that the meeting did take place, with Khan and McMahon discussing “possibilities moving forward”.

Sapp noted that Khan had been “open” to talking with McMahon for a while, but it’s believed they’d never met – or even spoken – before the rumors about McMahon possibly joining AEW emerged recently.

Khan is said to have been “very open” to “using” Shane McMahon for several weeks now, and has also made it clear that he was open to the idea of talking to McMahon when people have brought the topic up to him backstage.

Publicly, Tony Khan commented in a recent interview on the Maggie & Perloff show that McMahon was “welcome to stop by at any time” and “he seems like a really nice guy”.

Khan also told Sports Illustrated that he has “a lot of respect for (McMahon) as an executive and a professional wrestler”, and he’s “always welcome in AEW”.

Shane McMahon has been absent from WWE since WrestleMania 39 in April 2023 where he tore his quad just seconds into a match against The Miz.

Fightful reported in June 2024 that he was under no kind of contract with WWE as of that story being released.

He’s still listed on the current roster on WWE’s official website, but there are plenty of examples where that’s been inaccurate in situations like this.

We’ll keep you posted with any further updates on discussions between Shane McMahon, Tony Khan and AEW as they emerge.

Craziest timeline

Maybe they're just swapping dealer contacts

Nothing changed really. It would be interesting to see what Shane would do on AEW TV, but there is still no real reason to already splurging around one way or another about this. Social media continues to be the worst, when it comes to stuff like this.

Nothing to see not a chance that Shane would go into AEW . They run in the same circles, if I had pound for every rumour recently in wrestling. I'd be wanting they're plugs number as well. Be floating into out to space the stuff they get

It's like nah.

Shane gonna come out and be like:

That’s right! I now own AEW Collison!”

And do the Shane-O-Mac shuffle

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Does anyone really believe that Shane would REALLY go to AEW, be honest.

Looks like they been on that Bolivian marching powder and loon on the table and Shane's hand Tony's swapped his Shane's like nah mines better Tony. Shane nah try mine. They looked High AF hehe. But in all seriousness I wouldn't believe Wrestletalk. Come on Ollie sort ya head you.

JR fixed it the meeting at a Texas airport. Get rid of The Young Bucks for starters used to like them till they screwed over Punk ( but let's not go there ) Shane is in his mid 50's he couldn't do mania 39 tore his quad.

Silly boy Ollie go stand in the corner.
