Is Khan's Strat just to stack the decks and wait until WWE goes industry-like with their sale? Be both the "real" wrestling company AND the one with the big names?

:wow: When Nick Khan and co. are forced to sell to Tony.

"The name on the contract does say Khan...."

Adam Cole going to AEW is a near-certainty in my eyes. Why the fukk wouldn't he move from a company that clearly doesn't want people like him to a company where all of his best friends work and his girlfriend runs the women's division? *I* don't want to see Cole there, but it's probably going to happen. Not a big enough name to fit the report, in my eyes.

They'll at least do some Horsemen shyt at some point with Flair, but I can't see that being the big name either.

No to Braun. Doubt they're going to want a guy in the locker room that seems to be a legit backstage problem to one degree or another.

Personally, I could see it being Bray. Young enough, works well with smaller guys, can step up from time to time and actually put in work (hasn't happened a lot, but work with me here), and is super creative. That seems like someone who could be a very good fit with AEW and offer something that they actually might not have on the roster right now.

I was reading that part of Adam Coles extension was WWE waived his non compete clause. So he could potentially wrestle at Takeover then show up on Dynamite Wednesday? :leon:

I don't know if that's true, but that would be crazy.

His contract ends so he’s free to do whatever he wants. If he were mid contract and was let go like other wrestlers, then he would have to wait the 90 days.

Cole is a huge mark for HBK, and I say that as a Cole fan despite the hate he gets around here. I honestly think there’s zero chance he jumps ship, but I’m not going to pretend like I have any factual evidence to base that on.

Man if TK signs Brock Lesnar that would be an insane get for AEW but I hope it doesn’t happen. We don’t need Brock running rampant.

I want Brock to come just to see how Khan would book him. I don’t think he would copy that WWE style of booking Lesnar. His dominance could still be established without a title and while putting over people. Lesnar would probably bump his ass off for some of the dudes in AEW.



Nah now I need Miro/Lesnar:ohhh:

You think he stays in a company that will never ever use him right because as a child he idolized HBK? What kinda reasoning is that? His wife is literally the most over act before Punk in the company. He rode all over the country for weeks straight going on tour with the Bucks, Kenny and Cody. He's very close to TK.

But you think he's going to stay loyal to his hero from 20 years ago???? Why? He probably just watched Rampage, he knows that the story writes itself when he comes in.

He gone

Show me the last time Lesnar got even a 10th of the reception got tonight or buzz or anything. No one cares about Lesnar

Punk just straight up left wrestling & been gone for 7 years & returned in his hometown, I would hope he had buzz & got a massive pop. That shyt doesn't change the fact that if Lesnar called up Khan & wanted to talk business that Khan wouldn't say no for whatever reason you seem to believe he would, he's trying to get eyeballs on his shows :manny:

And when Lesnar showed up he'd get a big pop too & there's no point in acting like he wouldn't when the same fanbase reacted like Jack Swagger was a massive deal when he showed up.
