8 AEW Nightmares That Could Come True In 2026
6. Tony Khan Becomes A Weekly Character
Granted, this has been predicted time and time again but hasn't really come to fruition. Yet. Tony Khan does appear on TV sporadically, but he isn’t a weekly recurring focal point of Dynamite, Collision or AEW PPV. Sorry for any Khan lovers out there, but it can't ever be allowed to happen. Sorry to say, but he’s woeful on camera or with a mic in his hands.
Some people just don’t have the charisma or presence needed for it, and Khan is one of them. He has no business being on TV weekly. The dude is passionate and loves his wrestling, but he isn’t Vince McMahon, he isn’t Eric Bischoff and he isn’t Paul Heyman. If somebody in AEW fills Tony’s head full of nonsense and he turns himself into a regular, then programming is in big, big trouble.
Memories of his spots with Jack Perry and The Young Bucks should haunt everybody.
It's totally fine if Tony isn't a good performer. He has other skills, clearly, but cutting speeches over a live house mic and playing a role on television wouldn't be one of them. The All Elite boss would only be embarrassing himself and his own product by pretending he could contribute that way.
His "big announcements" have become memes by now, and there are so many videos of people ridiculing Tony's over-excitable, childlike delivery at AEW events. He'd turn more people off programming than onto it if he became an on screen authority figure who appeared in numerous segments every single Wednesday on Dynamite.
Genuinely, somebody rugby tackle him if he keeps trying to walk through the curtain holding a stick.
