Smaller? Got some nerve… AEW is completion straight up! Not some “smaller rival”

'Aew isn't a smaller company. Tony's rich!' Lmaoooooooooooooo

You're just posting this news for comedy purposes when we all know NBC/Universal buys Vince McMahon out. Because Dorky Khan and his All Elite Botchers would get laughed out of Vince's office immediately!

W caption

AEW is much more than a smaller rival, but this will be great if they do this better than the WWE and WCW merge.

I’m interested in merging my wealth with Elon Musk’s, both have the same chance of happening

Smaller 😂😂😂😂😂

Oh no now meltz and Alvarez will rant about u guys for 1 hr because u called aedub small

Smaller rival. BAAAAAASEEEEED.

Yassss but no Vince please 🙏🏻

They're interested in buying. Not merging.

This was on the news ?

Why would anyone want to merge with All Enema Wrestling?

yall cold for this headline

they talk shit about wwe all the time .......not surpised they want to buy it

oh we got nbc posting about it now

'The name on the contract does say Khan..'

Stop posting BS . Giving them a headline

Lmao ok sure

They won’t buy them

CNBC headline writer knows ball 😂

So like release date for aew fight forever and wwe 2k23 or what? WWEgames AEWGames

Smaller 😭

WaffleyMan prolly the only save honestly.

😂

If this happens WWE vs AEW at The Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse aka The Gund Arena in Cleveland, Ohio where WWF Invasion went down in 2001. It would be fun 😏invasion2

WWEGareth they called it smaller 😭💀 crazy times tho

Who approved this edit? 🤔 This headline will trigger many people, as there are inaccuracies in that statement.

Say man, 'smaller' was not necessary 🤣🤣😭😭

Fake news

Luv to see it

Lol smaller rival

Smaller? What are you on WWE payroll.

You couldn’t just say rival. Or biggest rival? Biggest competitor ? You do know they just started in late 2019?

S. Khan net worth is $11 billion...ain't nothing smaller about that chief. But AEW is a much much younger company

The AEW cult was triggered😭

Again, don’t trust anything coming from these billionaire bootlicker jag offs.

WWE's market cap is 6.65 billion. Shahid Khan's net worth is 11.6 billion, the vast majority of which is going to be in non-liquid assets. So he'd have to liquidate more than half his wealth which is far more likely than them getting past Vince's ego about competition.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This would legit kill the business

For calling it smaller rival

Smaller 😡

Those talks:

Smaller but much much richer

👀

This will not happen Comcast is still the best option I think

*breathes in* BOY

No!!!!

There is no way Vince is selling to these guys.

Long shot indeed.

Buy. They wanna buy. Not merg. Big difference guys.

An AEW-WWE “merger” would be the best move for the future of the pro wrestling industry. I hope the Khan’s are successful. AEW WWE
