During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Tony Khan was asked for his reaction to the photo of Ricky Saints, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Jade Cargill all together behind-the-scenes as active champions.
He Said: “I saw that and I think AEW is having a great year and is in a fantastic place. The roster right now is delivering great shows and I’m proud of what the roster is doing right now. It did make me smile because it reminded me of Double or Nothing 2020, the first pandemic pay-per-view. Cody won the TNT Title, Mox retained the AEW World Title against the late, great Mr. Brodie Lee. After the show, Cody and Mox took a photo. I thought it was interesting and it shows how far in the mirror…..I remember the photo Cody and Mox took, I think I took it.”
He continued, “I have relationships with all four of them and they’re very different. I could talk for two hours about each of the four of them and why I like them and why I thought they were great in AEW, their matches, or how much I like them all as people. They’re all not wrestling in AEW anymore. It just reminded me of the photo in Jacksonville, taking that photo, and how it’s crazy how five and a half years have flown by.”
