So stay tuned to AEW Dynamite and stay tuned to AEW Rampage, you never know when I&#8217;m going to address something. It&#8217;s very preliminary to talk about that process. If there is a process there, which it sounds like there may be, I&#8217;m interested in being part of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> While the Khan family has every right to make a play for WWE, I am not a fan of the idea of any family or person monopolizing the industry again.
