Tony Khan Ghosts Shane McMahon After Equity Request

Tony Khan, president of AEW, reportedly did not follow up with Shane McMahon after their private meeting last summer, which has led to speculation about a potential collaboration that never materialized. According to Jonathan Coachman, McMahon sought equity in AEW and expressed a desire to run the entire company, but Khan found these demands excessive and subsequently 'ghosted' him. Sources close to McMahon indicated that he did not take the lack of response personally and that discussions about a formal role or appearance in AEW did not advance. Although no serious negotiations took place, a cameo by McMahon remains a possibility in the future. The lack of action following the meeting suggests that any partnership between McMahon and AEW is unlikely at this time. This situation leaves McMahon's future in wrestling uncertain following his departure from WWE after WrestleMania 39.
