Tony Khan bid for WWE in 2023 sale process ultimately won by Endeavor to create TKO - POST Wrestling | Podcasts, News, Reviews | WWE AEW NXT NJPW
The AEW owner’s Base 10 company was among 4 bidders in the sale along with Endeavor, Liberty Media, and KKR.
The article talks a lot about the lawsuit between WWE shareholders and the WWE, allegedly when WWE was for sale they turned down better offers and merged with Endeavor. Base 10, the company backed by Tony Khan, offered less than Endeavor, so they wouldn't have been in the running for a final buyer.
The article points out these offers:
Base 10: $6.9 billion
KKR: $8.0 billion to $8.7 billion
Liberty Media: $8.5 billion to $8.9 billion
Endeavor: $8.5 billion
It's probably for the best Tony didn't win, but it still would have been funny.
