Khan said everything he decides when it comes to releasing talent from their contracts is done on a case-by-case basis, but he admitted this was a change for him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It felt like the right thing for the company and everyone involved at this point,&#8221; said Khan. &#8220;That&#8217;s the thinking behind that. It&#8217;s on a case by case basis and they are all different situations. In this case, they did have similar outcomes. It&#8217;s fair to ask why now and why I wouldn&#8217;t have done that before. I just decided that&#8217;s what I thought was the right thing to do at this point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Dynamite: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/aew-dynamite-post-show-3-5-keller-lilly-lighter-fluid-scissors-and-death-threats-part-of-final-hype-for-aew-revolution--64725092\">CLICK HERE<\/a> (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=64725092&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wade Keller Post-show - AEW Dynamite w\/Wade Keller &amp; Darrin Lilly\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1oZHogBTKE0?start=5&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2974074757\"><div id=\"pwtor-1010430072\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Tony Khan was asked during his media call ahead of the AEW Revolution PPV on March 9 if his philosophy on releasing talent from their contracts had changed.
