AEW President and CEO Tony Khan is known to make headlines for his decisions regarding the AEW product and televised programming each week. However, this week on Dynamite, Khan made the news for a different reason.
This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite saw Jack Perry confronted by Tony Khan to address their ongoing disagreements. Perry, in a surprising move, extended a truce to bury the hatchet with Khan and resolve their conflicts for the benefit of AEW.
However, the situation took a dark turn when Jack Perry suddenly attacked Khan, shocking both the audience and AEW personnel. Furthermore, the involvement of AEW EVPs The Young Bucks and wrestler Kazuchika Okada escalated the violence, leaving Khan beaten and battered in the ring.
Following that, Tony Khan made an appearance at the 2024 NFL Draft wearing a neck brace hinting at potential ongoing repercussions within AEW’s storyline. This led to AEW star Matt Taven taking to his X to promote his Undisputed Kingdom cohort, Roderick’s Strong ‘Neck Strong’ merchandise that became a rage during its tenure, at the expense of Tony Khan’s misery.
The shocking events on AEW Dynamite have undoubtedly set the stage for compelling developments in the weeks ahead. We will have to wait and see what Tony Khan has to say following the heinous assault by the New Elite.
