Tony Khan Infuriated By Stephen P. New's Insults Aimed At Jim Ross

09/07/2024 11:59 AM

AEW President Tony Khan is “shocked and appalled” at the recent remarks made by lawyer Stephen P. New about WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross.

As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, lawyer Stephen P. New is representing former AEW commentator Kevin Kelly and The Tate Twins (also known as The Boys) in their lawsuit against All Elite Wrestling.

Ross commented about the lawsuit on his podcast, describing it as “frivolous.”

New reacted to Ross' comments on the “House of Kayfabe” podcast, saying Ross was "part of the problem"for his role in signing wrestlers to "crap contracts" while working as the Head of Talent Relations for WWE.

New stated, "Tony Khan's paid JR a lot of money to do nothing for about five years now. If I were Jim Ross and I were living at Jacksonville Beach and making a bunch of money to not do much at all, I'd probably come out and call Stephen P. New's lawsuit also. Everybody's got a price."

New's comments later prompted a response from Khan earlier today.

The AEW President tweeted, "I've just read Stephen P. New's comments about @JRsBBQ. I'm shocked + appalled by these comments on legend Jim Ross, part of AEW's foundation, someone so important from the beginning of AEW and still right now today. AEW, JR & I reserve all rights. See you tonight at #AEWAllOut."

Ross reportedly inked a new one-year deal with AEW earlier this year.
