Fans React To Tony Khan's Vince McMahon Tweet

By Liam Crowley - July 22, 2022 05:00 pm EDT

Vince McMahon has retired from his positions as Chairman and CEO of WWE, and AEW President Tony Khan didn't waste one minute to respond to the news. Thanks to you wrestling fans and your great support of AEW," Khan wrote on Twitter. "I'm grateful to now be the longest-tenured CEO in pro wrestling. Thank you very much to every single person who watches AEW on TV! See you for Friday Night." Khan's "longest-tenured CEO" remarks hold ground, as with McMahon retired and New Japan Pro Wrestling's Takami Ohbari only running his company since October 2020, Khan's three years and counting put him in the veteran spot.

Thanks to you wrestling fans and your great support of @AEW, I’m grateful to now be the longest-tenured CEO in pro wrestling.

Thank you very much to every single person who watches @AEWonTV!

See you for Friday Night #AEWRampage on @TNTdrama
@ 10pm ET/9pm CT/10pm PT
*TONIGHT*!
