As we noted yesterday here on eWn, Tony and Shahid Khan are reportedly interested in purchasing WWE.

In a follow-up to this report, CNBC is reporting that several sources familiar with the situation have confirmed that the Khans are interested in merging AEW and WWE.

The report notes that the Khans would be willing to team up with a media company for the IP, which would result in a merger of WWE and AEW.

While Tony and Shahid have not spoken with Vince McMahon or Nick Khan at this point, it was noted that McMahon may not be interested in speaking with them at all. The idea is said to be “a long shot.”

Once again – no discussions between the Khans and WWE have taken place at this point. For what it’s worth, Shahid Khan has a net worth of $7.56 billion.
