Mike Tyson appeared to slightly bury AEW during a recent episode of his 'Hot Boxin' podcast.

The former boxer had none other than The Undertaker on his show. During their chat, Mike said that he'd "rather go" to WWE than All Elite if he was making another pro wrestling appearance - that's despite the fact AEW "pays more money".

Ouch.

Naturally, 'Taker agreed with Tyson's assessment of wrestling's big fish. He said that WWE would definitely "do it right" if Mike ever made another showing on company programming in 2023 or beyond. No-one should be surprised that 'The Deadman' went to bat for WWE there.

Tyson has made several appearances for Tony Khan's company since 2020. The most recent, on the 4 November 2022 Rampage, was an entertaining guest commentary spot for the All-Atlantic Title bout between Orange Cassidy and Katsuyori Shibata.

Apparently, All Elite Wrestling isn't where 'Iron' Mike wants to be if he's returning to the wrestling sphere though. TK's money, which he revealed is more than WWE would be willing to pay him, isn't even enough to turn his head or make him covet AEW over WWE.
