Kevin Kelly has found himself at the center of controversy as he battles AEW and Tony Khan in court.
The veteran commentator is suing AEW, Khan, and Ian Riccaboni for defamation while seeking to void arbitration clauses in their contracts. The lawsuit also pushes for a class-action case, alleging that AEW has misclassified its talent as independent contractors instead of employees.
On Twitter, Kelly opened up about his grievances, claiming he was fired by Khan following a mental breakdown. He tweeted, All I wanted to do was call wrestling. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Id have to listen to a stuttering son of a billionaire feeding me lines and then correcting himself and telling me I was doing great. They waited until I had a mental breakdown to fire me.
Kelly also took the opportunity to express his desire to work with WWEs Corey Graves, saying, Put me and @WWEGraves together at the desk. Corey would become the biggest commentary star in wrestling because I would actively try to get him over. Let his star shine.
The legal battle has sparked widespread discussion about AEWs treatment of its talent and how wrestling companies classify their performers. With Kelly, the Tate Twins, and others challenging AEWs practices, the outcome of this case could have ripple effects across the industry.
