Tony Khan believes AEW is the safest pro wrestling company to work for.
Khan was asked about the recent discourse about safety and harassment involving women’s wrestlers during the AEW Worlds End post-show media scrum. Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Kevin McElvaney asked Khan about the recent concern by talent, fans and media about the issue. He asked Khan what AEW has done to combat and prevent sexual harassment in the locker room?
Khan said AEW does everything they can to prevent those issues. He then touted AEW as the wrestling promotion with the best safety record.
“I think it applies to everyone in the company, women and men. And it’s something that we’re very serious about. We’ve had a policy in place and it’s certainly — anytime there’s anything like that, we’ve made sure we do everything we can to prevent it. AEW has the best safety record, I believe, of any pro wrestling company in the world,” Khan explained. “I believe we have the most safe environment, we have the best safety record of any pro wrestling company and I would hold the record of AEW on safety against any wrestling company in the world.
“I think AEW is the safest place for pro wrestling. If any of our wrestlers ever have a concern, they always have an open line to talk to me,” he added. “I believe anybody would sit here and tell you that they can talk to me any time they are concerned about anything.”
Disciplinary committee involvement
Khan also responded to a follow-up question about the topic, adding:
“If anything came to light, to me, I would take it to the disciplinary committee,” Khan said. “And that’s how we’ve been doing it and I think our disciplinary committee has been doing a great job. Everybody knows they have an open line to me or anybody on that committee.”
