Speaking on The Dan Le Batard Show, AEW CEO Tony Khan was asked about Charles Barkley doing work with AEW as his future with Waner Bros. Discovery is up in the air as the NBA will leave TNT Sports for Amazon after the 2025 season. the former NBA star is known to be a huge wrestling fan.
“I don’t know. Charles Barkley is a wrestling fan, I think. We presented the Inside The NBA team with AEW Championship belts. He was great and very gracious. We’ve worked with Shaq and Shaq is one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met or worked with in my entire life. I know that Shaq has been great to AEW. I don’t know what the future of the NBA holds, but Charles Barkley, as far as being one of the top hosts in all of sports and being one of the most entertaining people in all of television, I think he adds to any sport he’s involved in. If he wanted to come to AEW, we would love that. Absolutely, I would encourage that and support that,” Khan said.
