Tony Khan: Johnny Elite Is Tremendous, We’d Love To See Him Again In AEW

Tony Khan says he’d love to see Johnny Elite make a return.

John Hennigan (aka John Morrison) made his All Elite Wrestling debut as Samoa Joe’s surprise opponent in the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament on May 18. Asked about Hennigan’s status on Thursday’s AEW Double Or Nothing media call, Tony Khan said that he brought Hennigan in with the intention of seeing him more, and hopes they can work something out and bring him back to AEW programming.

“Well, John is tremendous. I really like Johnny Elite and it was great to have him debut in the Owen Hart tournament as the Joker. He was a very important person in the tournament, he came in and provided a big surprise and also gave a great match to Samoa Joe. Now with Samoa Joe going into the finals, earning his place last night,” Khan pointed out, “that match looks even more important in hindsight.

“I think he had a great debut and I definitely brought him in with the thought that this is somebody I would be open to bringing back and interested to bring back in the future. After the great debut match he had, I’m still very interested, probably even more interested in John coming back. So absolutely, I’d be very open to that,” Khan stated. “I think John is great and we’d love to see Johnny Elite again in AEW.”
