Tony Khan Comments on Triple H’s Calling AEW a “Secondary Promotion”

As noted before, Peacock recently released their new documentary film based on Cody Rhodes titled American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes. In the film, WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque threw some shade at AEW calling them a “secondary promotion” for why Rhodes left their company over his goal of wanting to become a WWE Champion.

The Orlando Sentinel held a recent interview with AEW CEO Tony Khan. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about Levesque’s recent comments against his company.

“We certainly won’t be the secondary promotion at All In. We’re No. 1 in the UK, on TV and with a record gate. I have a lot of respect for Cody. I know these weren’t his words, to be fair, but we’re not secondary in a lot of markets — for the first time in a long time, WWE has been secondary in a lot of markets. … I’m proud of where we’re at and we’re not taking a back seat to anybody.”
