Doc Gallows Gives His Take On TKO’s Strategy Behind AAA Acquisition

WWE, through TKO, now has a majority stake in AAA and control the promotion. In an interview with PWMania (via Fightful), Doc Gallows gave his thoughts on TKO’s strategy behind the move and how it relates to Triple H wanting an NXT brand on every continent.

He said: “You know, is the WWE controlling every continent a positive? I don’t know, I think as long as there’s companies that work outside of that realm, yes. Obviously the fans are enjoying it, they enjoyed TripleMania and the interaction with Pro Wrestling NOAH, if that’s going to go any further. I remember Hunter telling Carl and I in like 2016 when we were coming in that basically he wanted NXT on every continent. I think TKO came in and with their sharp business skills said, ‘What if we just own the majority percentage in a good company on each continent and then we can control it.’ Not a bad business strategy if you study business at all, probably a lot cheaper. Then, you can cherry pick all the top stars and do with them what you please and let the rest of it run the way that it runs.“
