He talked about receiving honor at the Royal Post-Event press conference.
“In business for me, outside the ring, there is no one that I respect any more, nobody, than him,” he said about Khan. “He is my partner in all of this. So he does that for me was incredibly significant.”
Last week, Khan addressed the company when Michaels and Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, interrupted and surprised Levesque with their own ad.
“By a guy who usually has something to say about everything, I’m speechless,” said Levesque on Wednesday. “I’m going to kill Nick when we go from here. If you see someone flying the roof, ignore it. I don’t really know what else to say.”

Levesque was a world champion 14 times at WWE, winning the WWE championship nine times and the world heavyweight championship five times. He had important quarrels with the rock, Mick Foley, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Michaels, Undertaker and countless others during the duration of his career.
He became director of WWE content in 2022 and helped inaugurate a “new era” in the company after the departure of Vince McMahon, his stepfather, due to allegations of sexual misconduct. He has since been the main voice behind the creative work of the company.
The Wrestlemania XX match of Levesque against Chris Benoit and Michaels, his Wrestlemania 22 match against John Cena and Wrestlemania XXIV Match against Undertaker are considered some of the best in the history of the event.
