Former WWE star Bishop Dyer, better known to fans as Baron Corbin, has yet to join Tony Khan’s AEW, but he has expressed admiration for Khan’s genuine care for his wrestlers. On the Bust Open Radio show, Dyer praised Khan, noting that AEW’s president does things for talent that WWE never did.
“I can say Tony Khan truly cares about his employees. He doesn’t publicize it because he believes in supporting talent without making a big show out of it, unlike in WWE,” Dyer shared.
Although Dyer didn’t provide specific examples, it’s well-known that Khan frequently goes above and beyond for wrestlers. For instance, Khan has made significant donations to Gofundme campaigns, including a generous $10,000 contribution toward Kevin Sullivan’s 2024 medical expenses.
Whether the former NXT Tag Team Champion will eventually join AEW, which competes directly with WWE NXT, remains uncertain. However, it’s evident that Dyer holds Tony Khan in high regard.
Fan Take: This insight into Tony Khan’s supportive approach highlights why AEW continues to attract top talent and fans alike. It signals a shift in wrestling culture where wrestlers feel genuinely valued, potentially raising the bar for how promotions care for their athletes.
