Tony Khan Claims WWE “Made It Personal” When They Attempted To Tamper With AEW Talents When His Mom Was In The Hospital

Tony Khan’s recent tweets and jabs at WWE have sparked discussions throughout the week, especially leading up to the NXT and AEW Dynamite showdown. Following the release of ratings, Khan continued to leverage the numbers for more commentary and promotion.

While some view Tony’s tweets as part of the wrestling rivalry, others question the extent to which he has taken it. Tony revealed on Friday morning that it became personal when he had to handle calls from AEW talent alleging WWE contract tampering. These calls occurred during a challenging time when Tony’s mother was in the hospital, fighting for her life.

Last year, Tony Khan shared that his mom suffered strokes between All Out and Grand Slam, and during this period, he received a call from William Regal expressing a desire to return to WWE.

This weekend marks 1 year since @MayoClinic saved my mom's life.
During her ordeal many AEW talent came to me alleging WWE tampering, inducing them to break their contracts.
I'll never forget these phone calls at her side in the hospital; it's when business became personal for me

This is nothing new, I mentioned it last year after she came home. It's relevant today because she checked in for surgery 1 year ago today.
As I've mentioned several times since, @MayoClinic are heroes and thanks to them, her recovery from a very grim outlook has been a miracle.
