Big Swole Responds To Tony Khan's Criticism

Khan reacted strongly on Twitter to comments made by Swole after leaving AEW

Former AEW star Big Swole has finally responded to Tony Khan’s controversial Tweet from the New Year.

Khan Tweeted saying he let Swole go because he wasn’t a fan of her work after Swole mentioned that a lack of structure and representation in AEW were two of the reasons why she left the company.

Now more than a week removed from Khan’s remarks and Swole has commented publicly on the saga, saying on her Swole World podcast:

“To answer everybody’s question, no. There’s been no apology. There’s been no contact or anything and I don’t think there will be because I feel like maybe he feels he had said nothing wrong at all.”

Khan’s comments were met with widespread condemnation from fans and wrestlers online, although many defended Khan online. 

“I couldn’t believe it, it went from that to… disappointed. I guess overall, I’m very disappointed. A person with that pedigree should know how to respond in a way that doesn’t come off in the most negative way possible. Just to have that – What truth do you have? What grace?”

Swole continued:

“I’m a person that in my exit interview you just praised me for everything. You praised me for… my leadership roles in the division and what I’ve done to help and how my matches were good and great and how ‘Hey, we would love to have you back.’ But a couple of weeks or so later (you) did this. I was just very disappointed, embarrassed.”
