Eric Bischoff Says AEW Boss Tony Khan Should Hire Recently Released Former WWE Star

Though the podcast was recorded in advance of Khan's show-ending appearance on last night's "AEW Dynamite," Bischoff actually put forward the idea that Khan should get attacked onscreen to set off the angle. The only difference on Bischoff's end is that the beating would come at the hands of Mahal, while it wound up being the Young Bucks in reality.

Without knowing how things would eventually play out on "Dynamite," Bischoff was adamant that his proposed angle would result in Mahal getting over as a hero with the AEW audience. The former WCW executive stated that Khan may not realize it, but he's become something of a villain, with Bischoff believing that the audience would root for Mahal attacking the AEW CEO.

"If this storyline plays out, it'll get Jinder over," Bischoff continued. "He'll be one of the biggest babyfaces in the company."

Despite including Khan in the storyline, Bischoff stated that his participation should be brief. Additionally, Khan should be kept away from a microphone, which was another element of Bischoff's idea that did play out on "Dynamite."
