There is competition in every industry. Therefore, it’s no surprise that WWE and AEW are competing in the wrestling industry. In fact, Tony Khan took a recent shot at WWE’s President Nick Khan. Now, Booker T isn’t sure this was something that was required, especially for AEW.

On his podcast, Booker T revealed he doesn’t think there is an endgame for AEW. Moreover, he thinks if it was his company, he wouldn’t have commented on another company’s strategies or deals.

“Tony Khan cut a big promo on Nick Khan, that kind of stuff, to me, I don’t know, I’m trying to figure out how that works out for my company. Huge shots like that, me personally, I don’t get it. But maybe it’s something… the internet… I remember hearing him mention certain sites (websites) and whatnot. I’m just trying to figure out what is the end game for AEW, and me, personally, I’m not seeing it. I’m just trying to figure out where we’re going with the thing.”

It is possible Tony Khan cut a promo about WWE and NJPW planning to work together just for entertainment. However, this is not an usual promo since he’s taken Nick Khan by name, and claimed the wrestling industry has place only for one Khan.

Of course, Tony Khan faced some backlash after cutting the promo. However, he came forward and revealed that he had spoken to New Japan Pro Wrestling about this promo, and they had agreed this was a great idea. He moved forward with it only after NJPW accepted it.
