WWE has been ruling the pro wrestling business for more than 4 decades now. In the past, many rival promotions have tried to change the tide and topple WWE from the leader’s position. But Vince Mcmahon’s impeccable decision-making has kept WWE at the top of the food chain for a long time. WCW tried their luck in the 90’s and to some extent they were even winning the ‘Monday Night Wars’. But as always, Mcmahon played his cards right and eventually put WCW out of business in 2001.

Since then, no wrestling promotion has dared to challenge the behemoth WWE until 2019. When a small promotion named AEW began and has since then been gaining popularity among wrestling fans. And recently AEW’s appealing televised show Dynamite completed 200 episodes. And to celebrate this milestone, AEW Champion MJF did something special for AEW President Tony Khan.

In the past, Tony Khan has clearly expressed that he dislikes MJF and has said that he is very hard to work with. But at the same time he also praised him for being a great professional wrestler. This clearly shows that both these individuals are at loggerheads with each other.
