Tony Khan responds to Triple H calling his company a “secondary promotion.”
During Cody Rhodes’ Peacock documentary, Triple H referred to AEW as a “secondary” promotion. This rubbed many fans the wrong way and it appears that AEW president Tony Khan also feels the same.
Speaking to Jay Reddick of the Orlando Sentinel, Tony Khan responded to Triple H calling AEW a “secondary promotion.”
“We certainly won’t be the secondary promotion at All In,” he said. “We’re No. 1 in the UK, on TV and with a record gate. I have a lot of respect for Cody. I know these weren’t his words, to be fair, but we’re not secondary in a lot of markets — for the first time in a long time, WWE has been secondary in a lot of markets. … I’m proud of where we’re at and we’re not taking a back seat to anybody.”

AEW All In is set to take place on August 27 at Wembley Stadium.
