Since its inception in 2019, Tony Khan‘s role as AEW president has significantly impacted the professional wrestling scene. AEW has swiftly grown into one of the largest wrestling promotions worldwide, positioning itself as a serious competitor to established organizations like World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
Potential Game-Changing Celebrity Appearance
WWE veteran and former writer Vince Russo recently suggested that Tony Khan‘s AEW might revolutionize wrestling by featuring global superstar Taylor Swift. In a discussion on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge‘s Writing with Russo, he emphasized how Swift in the wrestling ring could become an unprecedented event for the industry.
“If AEW ever got Taylor Swift in a ring, bro, that right now at this point in time would be the biggest game changer in the history of the wrestling business, without a shadow of doubt. If that scenario ever happened, bro, you literally would have 10 million people watching that,” Russo said.
Swift’s Connections and Speculation
Taylor Swift’s recent engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce has caught public attention, further fueling interest in her possible involvement with AEW. Swift is notably connected to Jeff Jarrett, AEW’s head of Business Development, who has openly expressed enthusiasm for seeing Kelce step into an AEW ring. Although no official announcements have been made, this relationship hints at potential future collaborations.
Impact and Future Prospects for AEW
The prospect of Taylor Swift appearing on AEW programming represents a significant opportunity for the promotion to access a broader audience and elevate the wrestling industry’s mainstream appeal. Should this scenario come to fruition, it may mark a turning point in wrestling’s history and greatly influence AEW’s growth trajectory under Tony Khan’s leadership.
