Now most notably tied to one of the most ruthless cost-cutting endeavours in WWE history, current company president Nick Khan wasn't entirely brand new to the world he entered in 2020.

According to redditor Cactusmaac, Christian Cage was Nick Khan's first client as a sports agent, helped negotiate his move to TNA, and was friends with Samoa Joe around the same time.

The specific wrestler details aren't the easiest to track down on Google, which is as good a barometer as any of how true they may be. But some of Khan's employment history is thanks to his WWE.com profile, and the following passage would at very least match up with the timeline of Cage's departure to Orlando.

Khan, a former practicing attorney, transitioned to International Creative Management (ICM) in 2006 where he launched their Sports Media department and represented the biggest names in sports broadcasting.

He's also apparently lifelong friends with The Rock, further tethering him to a world he's rapidly shook up.
