10 Changes That’d Happen If AEW's Tony Khan Bought WWE

10. “Sports Entertainment” Would Be History

The term "sports entertainment" exists as a not-so-subtle joke in AEW's world. Chris Jericho's JAS faction refers to its work using Vince McMahon's long-held alternative to being dubbed pro wrestling, and everyone's in on the gag. "Sports entertainment" is to be shunned by All Elite's hardcore fanbase.

That'd openly be the case in WWE's world too if Tony Khan purchased his competitor. Being honest, Triple H has downplayed Vince-isms since assuming control (which could change all over again now McMahon is back) last summer, but Khan would obliterate them and proudly wave the wrasslin' flag on Raw and SmackDown.

It'd be one of the first tweaks he'd make to WWE's product.

Suddenly, beyond being used as fan-baiting fuel for heels, all "sports entertainment" chatter would diminish across the board. Khan might even take a page from IMPACT Wrestling/TNA's old playbook by starting a marketing campaign akin to, "Wrestling Matters Here".
