Despite keeping Punk and The Elite on separate brands, Khan has had to deal with the ramifications of Punk calling Adam Page “a peg warmer” in an off-air promo, for which Punk reportedly apologized later, and other issues pertaining to Punk asking certain talents and a backstage producer to leave the arena. In between all The Elite vs. Punk drama, Khan also had to address an alleged spat between Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker and a backstage altercation between Sammy Guevera and Andrade El Idolo last October. Clearly, the AEW boss has had his hands full over the past year or so. Yet, he prefers to keep a positive attitude, implying that the clash of egos isn’t necessarily a bad thing, seeing as it could bring the best out of his performers.   

“There are a lot of people around here who think they’re the best,” Khan said of the AEW roster. “And I think a lot of them have a valid claim that they’re the best. And what I’m trying to do is to create an environment where everybody can go out and prove it multiple times per week and create a platform where the fans can decide who the best wrestlers are, what the best rivalries are, what the best matches are.”

“As long as I can keep the top talent in AEW, we will have the best matches and the best big events. The lineup of wrestlers competing on AEW All In is the strongest group of talent we’ve ever assembled on one show, it features some of the biggest matches in the history of this company, and I think it’s going to be one of the greatest days ever in pro wrestling this Sunday.”
