AEW President Tony Khan has big respect for Bray Wyatt and could see them working together at some point.
Wrestling fans were stunned upon receiving the news that Wyatt had been released by WWE. After all, Wyatt was in a main event role as The Fiend and is a former WWE Champion and a former two-time WWE Universal Champion.
Khan recently told the folks over at WFAN that he hasn’t spoken to Wyatt yet but he seemingly left the door open.
When speaking to the New York Post, Khan showed more optimism in a conversation with Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) taking place at some point in the future.
“Yeah. I really like Windham,” said Khan. “I know him a little bit and I really enjoy him. The last time I saw him was at Chris Jericho’s birthday party and that was a long time ago.”
Khan continued by heaping praise on the former WWE Superstar and could see them working together in the future.
“I like him as a person very much and he’s a really talented person. At the right time and place, sure I’d be interested to talk to him. I’m interested to talk to him in general because he’s a great person.”
Wyatt competed at WrestleMania 37 earlier this year, losing to Randy Orton. He appeared in a backstage segment on Monday Night Raw the following night. This marked his final appearance on WWE TV.
Many have speculated what kind of role Wyatt can be put in if he ends up signing with AEW. The most popular direction seems to be filling the late Brodie Lee’s shoes and taking over as the leader of The Dark Order.
Whether or not that will happen remains to be seen.
