While Danielson had great relationships with Vince McMahon, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and Gabe Sapolsky when he worked for them, Khan stands out for how kind he is.

AEW may be reviving its plans for a special big-man match. At Revolution earlier this year, AEW planned to have the first-ever Meat Madness match. But the match was postponed and an All-Star scramble instead took place. The postponement was because some of the wrestlers Tony Khan wanted to use in Meat Madness were not available. Khan said that, when there was enough healthy depth, he still really wanted to present Meat Madness.
