Tony Khan to turn heel for the first time ever and be revealed as the leader of top AEW group? Exploring potential twist
AEW President Tony Khan could turn heel and reveal himself as the leader of a top group that has been wreaking havoc. He could pull off a major twist similar to what Vince McMahon did in WWE years ago.
For the past few months, top AEW stars Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Wheeler Yuta have been running roughshod over the roster. Moxley also defeated Bryan Danielson at WrestleDream, forcing him to retire from full-time in-ring competition.
Fans are hoping to see a higher power being revealed as the mastermind behind the BCC's recent actions. The individual could be none other than Tony Khan. He has primarily been a babyface since AEW's inception. However, he could shockingly embrace his dark side and reveal himself as the leader of the heel faction.
The potential move would make sense as the BCC has been brutally assaulting multiple AEW stars, but Khan has yet to intervene in their business, despite being the CEO. Furthermore, BCC has not targeted the 42-year-old, despite its mission to take control of the company.
Khan joining the Blackpool Combat Club would make The Young Bucks and The Elite huge babyfaces when they potentially attempt to stop the heel stable. The popular sports executive also has some unfinished business with The Elite after their interactions earlier this year.
Tony Khan has booked a massive main event for AEW Full Gear 2024
Jon Moxley won the AEW World Title at WrestleDream by defeating Bryan Danielson. Since then, he has been looking for a challenger. On the latest episode of Dynamite, Orange Cassidy challenged Moxley for the title, and the match was later made official for Full Gear by the Tony Khan-led promotion.
It was also mentioned that the future of AEW depends on the result of the Full Gear main event. It remains to be seen what happens when Moxley and Cassidy lock horns for the gold.
