Tony Khan has recently been in the news, but for the wrong reasons. He has been facing a lot of criticism regarding the issue of diversity in AEW, and a former employee is calling him out for his previous comments.

Brian Gewirtz is a former WWE head writer. He now serves as the Senior Vice President of Development for Seven Bucks Production. The production is owned by The Rock and his ex-wife Dany Garcia.

Tony Khan was asked about his perception of what makes WWE different from AEW. Needless to say, he did not hold back from expressing his full opinion. [H/T Fightful]

“I don’t have 27 Hollywood writers sitting around, writing sketch comedy for the show,” Khan said. “We do great wrestling matches. The wrestling that many people in Jacksonville and the southeast grew up on. That’s the wrestling I grew up on, and I love it.”

Khan stated that he is a big wrestling fan, and he tries to make matches that the fans want to see.

Ex WWE writer calls Tony Khan out.

Referring to Khan’s comments from this interview, Brian had a few words to say for him. He spoke on the Day 1 pay-per-view on his Twitter account and praised everyone backstage for putting up a great show.

Gewirtz said, “Fun show #WWEDay1. Weird, it’s almost as if it was the result of a massive group effort involving talent, producers, production staff, creative, announcers, and more as opposed to “27 Hollywood writers sitting around writing sketch comedy.”
