Ice Cube’s Son Remаins Skeptical of Tony Khan; Shares His Reasons

With the emergence of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2019, WWE found itself facing serious competition for the first time in many years. Despite this rivalry, both companies have experienced growth over the years. However, recent controversial remarks have once again stirred up tensions between the two wrestling giants.

During an interview on NFL Network, Tony Khan, the president of AEW, likened his company’s success to that of Pepsi in the wrestling world, while describing WWE as akin to Harvey Weinstein, a former producer serving time for sexuаl abuse. This comparison did not sit well with O’Shea Jackson Jr., son of the renowned rapper Ice Cube, who wasted no time in expressing his thoughts on Twitter.

O’Shea Jr. took to Instagram to voice his disapproval of Tony Khan’s comments. While he didn’t directly address Khan’s Weinstein comparison, he hinted at it, accusing Khan of “throwing stones in a glass house” that is AEW. O’Shea Jr. remarked, “Just when I was going to praise TK today he says some wild sҺit like that lmaо. It’s especially funny because he knows dаmn well he’s throwing stones in a glass house.”

Tony Khan is known for his outspoken defense of AEW and his occasional criticism of WWE. His remarks often spark significant reactions from fans on social media, similar to O’Shea Jr.’s response. However, the NFL Network, where Khan made the controversial statement, had a different perspective on the matter.

Despite the backlash received, the NFL Network apparently had no issue with Khan’s remarks and welcomed his appearance positively. Sean Ross Sapp, providing an update on Twitter, revealed that the network had planned to feature Khan, anticipating the attention his appearance would garner, particularly after viral photos of Khan in a neck brace circulated online. Additionally, it was indicated that both the network and its hosts received Khan’s appearance well, despite the controversial line.

It’s worth noting that Khan also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars, an NFL team. He was filmed by NFL Films during the 2024 Draft, as part of a documentary about his dual role as the owner of a wrestling company and an NFL team. However, it remаins uncertain whether Khan’s recent statements will be included in the documentary.

Overall, the exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between AEW and WWE, as well as the complexities of navigating controversial statements in the public eye.
