Tony Khan would consider signing Nikki Bella to AEW if her interest was renewed.
During a recent episode of her podcast, Nikki Bella admitted that she strongly considered reaching out to Khan about potentially getting back into wrestling again and becoming All Elite after being inspired by Mercedes Mone’s promo at the Big Business special. The WWE Hall of Famer would elaborate on her hesitation to get in contact as family commitments are also a factor. If Garcia were to change her mind, the door would remain open.
While appearing on the Battleground Podcast, Khan stated that he has a lot of respect for what the Hall of Famer has accomplished in her career and would definitely consider singing Nikki if the phone rang. Additionally, Khan praised Brie Garcia, who is married to AEW star Bryan Danielson:
“If Nikki Garcia ever wanted to come into AEW, I would be very interested in that. I think the world of her. I have so much respect for Nicole and Brie. They’re like family to us because Bryan is like a part of my family, and that means Brie and Nicole [are] part of the family. So I have so much respect for both of them, and if Nikki was interested in coming to AEW, we would love to have her here any time. That was so great to hear. It means the world, and I just like both of them so much. I think they’re really, really cool and really, really great stars that would add a lot to AEW if they ever wanted to come.”
