"AEW needs the old TK (Tony Khan) back" - WWE veteran urges President of promotion to revert back to his old ways for its betterment

Former WWE writer Vince Russo has taken to social media to profess that AEW President Tony Khan needs to refer back to his old ways to better his company.

2022 has been an interesting year for AEW and Khan in general. Its wave of momentum coming out of 2021 has subsided and cracks are beginning to show when it comes to backstage morale.

Russo believes that part of it is down to the AEW president becoming more of a fan and less of a businessman by the day. The former WWE writer has pleaded for Khan on Twitter to revert to his old presentation.

This comes just a few days after Russo stated on his YouTube channel that Khan needs to present himself more professionally in order to be taken seriously.
