Big Swole on Tony Khan’s Twitter Remarks on Her Wrestling, Reveals What Khan Said in Her Exit Interview

– During a recent interview with the Public Enemies Podcast, former AEW star Big Swole addressed Tony Khan’s controversial remarks he made about her on Twitter in late December. Around that time, Khan responded to comments made by Swole during her Swole World podcast, where she said she opted to leave AEW due to structure and diversity issues with the company.

After her podcast comments surfaced, Tony Khan tweeted, “I let Swole’s contract expire as I felt her wrestling wasn’t good enough.” Swole spoke more at length on Khan’s comments on Public Enemies. Below are some highlights (via POST Wrestling):

Big Swole on Tony Khan’s remark about her wrestling: “I don’t understand that [Tony Khan’s remark about her in-ring ability]. I don’t understand that. Like it just — I feel like it just wasn’t necessary, especially when you’re in a position of power and then you know, sometimes, people with power, they do of course make mistakes but however, I feel like you’ve been in this position of power for a very long time, whether it’d be with different sports organizations and everything so I feel like a certain decorum, you should have it, in a sense and especially, like I said, with the line and I only say this because, during our exit interview, I asked him about my skills and about my wrestling.”

On what Tony Khan told her about her wrestling skills during her exit interview: “I literally asked him, I was like, ‘Hey –’ because I was asking why I wasn’t on TV for a year because I wanted to have some closure so that I can move on with my life and I asked him, I was like, ‘Hey, what is the reason behind me not being on TV?’ I’m like, ‘Is it my wrestling skills? Do you think that I am not up to par?’ And he blatantly just came out and just praised me and said, ‘Oh no, that’s definitely not it.’”

Her reaction to the incident: “On my end, I feel like we have gone past the point where it was acceptable for you to give me or send out an apology or a retracement or even just, ‘Hey, I’m sorry that you’re experiencing all this crap.’ You know, it’s at a point where I’m like, well, I’ve said my prayers. I’ve pretty much almost given up on it in a sense because I don’t want anything like this having power over me. Being worried about, ‘Oh, is he gonna apologize? Is he gonna apologize?’ He can apologize whenever he wants to or even if he feels the need to. I’m just at the point where you have my number, you still follow me on all social medias, you could’ve been reached out. There’s avenues, there’s streets, there’s boulevards, there’s hovels, there’s lanes, there’s courts [Swole laughed]. There’s even forbidden doors because I’m like, you know, people that are close and dear to you are reaching out to me and you know, seeing this so I know you’re seeing this.”

Big Swole on getting harassing messages after Khan posted the tweet: “That was pretty much my cutoff point too [people on social media bringing up her family]. I was just like, okay, we’re not gonna do this and what we’re not gonna do is try to bully me into accepting someone’s apology either, you know? Because it was just like people are sending me receipts. This is not the first time anybody’s saying anything about it, you know? Or about my kid. People have been saying stuff. They’re just now getting caught. You know, hey, what’s done in the dark will always come to the light.”

Big Swole signed with AEW in December 2019. Last November, Big Swole announced that she and AEW came to a mutual agreement not to renew her previous contract.
