AAA’s Konnan discussed professional issues with AEW President Tony Khan on his podcast.
Konnan mentioned how Khan pulled Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo from AAA Nocho de Campeones in late 2022 after another wrestler on the AEW roster contracted Covid-19 and Khan wanted Tay as a replacement.
Konnan stated, โTony got really, really mad about this and I canโt even believe he got mad. I was thinking to myself, youโve got so many girls but youโre going to use her.. okay. And then I said on the podcast, I go โsome chick got (COVID)โ because Iโm pretty sure he didnโt want me to say the name. And when he saw me, he goes, โWhat do you mean some chick?โ Like, oh give me a break, dude. So, would you rather have had me say the name?โ Itโs not being disrespectful. If you say โchickโ I think they know what you mean. โHey, thatโs a hot chick,โ is that disrespectful?โ
โWeโve been selling out everywhere. We donโt even need AEW, and theyโre expensive and itโs hard to deal with them because they pull โem out at the last minute. I see they havenโt had that problem with Arena Mexico. Whether heโs trying to stick it upโฆ because I donโt put over his thing or heโs just having a good business relationship and itโs easier to work with them, I have no idea.โ
โIโm going to be very vague with what Iโm about to tell you and remember I said it today and very soon youโll find out what Iโm talking about, what comes around goes around. And when it happens, youโre going to go, โOkay, now I see what youโre talking about.โ So, have your little fun while you can.โ
