There has been some significant rumblings about Tony Khan and Shahid Khan being the potential buyers of WWE. For what it’s worth, many doesn’t believe that as a real-case scenario. With global juggernauts like Comcast, Endeavor and Saudi Arabia’s PIF in the hunt to acquire WWE, former’s case doesn’t have much credibility.
Scrapping down the speculations of The Khans buying WWE, Eric Bischoff believes both companies operate differently. Well, it’s quite evident that AEW usually caters to a niche audience, WWE on the other hand, serves a vast audience. They’re more inclined towards serving the purpose of Sports Entertainment. The Stamford-based promotion is on a different level than All Elite Wrestling.
Iterating the same theory on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff believes buying WWE is a giant move. Citing the never say never catchphrase of pro-wrestling, the former WCW Executive Chairman stated nothing is impossible. However, he openly questioned the infrastructure and knowledge of Tony Khan to actually handle a multi-billion business of WWE.
“Acquiring WWE is, that’s a big, giant move. I don’t see it. Now, could it happen? Sure, anything is possible. But if you really think about it, does the Khan enterprise have the experience, knowledge, infrastructure, ability to run a company as complex as WWE? … They may be in the same business, but they don’t live and play in the same universe.”

Will Vince McMahon ever sell WWE to Tony Khan?
Well, WWE getting owned by Tony Khan is something which will never happen. More than a business perspective, WWE doesn’t even bothers mentioning AEW in any way on their programming. Despite of their rival promotion’s frequent tries to garner their attention, WWE completely avoids their existence.
With that being said, Vince McMahon isn’t slowing down on proceeding his company’s sale. Although the legalities may take some time to finalize, there has been a major concern among fans and WWE Superstars about the 77-year possibly returning to creative.
For now, everyone can breath fresh. Triple H recently held a talent meeting prior to last week’s SmackDown. The 14-time World Champion asserted that despite Mr. McMahon’s comeback, nothing will change creatively in WWE. At times, Hunter may have a conversation with Vince about creative ideas, the final say lies on the former in all sorts.
