AEW boss Tony Khan says he believes that WWE is tapping up his contracted stars to try and lure them away. This is something Khan has spoken about before, and it's certainly a hot talking point amongst fans on social media.

During an appearance on The Dan Le Batard Show, Tony broached the subject again by saying: "I think that it’s still happening". These comments come amidst contrasting reports that AEW stars like Penta and Rey Fenix may/may not soon flee All Elite for Triple H's WWE.

There's a bit on confusion about exactly what's happening there, and Khan implied that he thinks this sort of stuff suits WWE more than his company. He added that he "will reserve all rights when it comes to that". He wasn't, however, keen to chat about the contract tampering claims for too long.

"I'll leave it at that", he said before moving on.

AEW are currently gearing up for a second consecutive stadium show in London. All In 2024 will be the last for a while, because Khan has moved All In to Texas in 2025. His promotion will be running a tour on UK soil next year instead though, which is definitely something to look forward to.
