This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite delivered a night of surprises, culminating in a shocking turn of events. The Elite, a prominent faction in All Elite Wrestling, viciously attacked AEW owner Tony Khan during the show’s closing segment, leaving fans and viewers in disbelief. The unexpected assault left a mark, but The Young Bucks took it a step further.
This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite unfolded with dramatic events, as Jack Perry confronted AEW CEO Tony Khan in an attempt to resolve their ongoing disagreements. During his in-ring segment, Perry acknowledged their past conflicts but emphasized that his intentions were always to do what was best for AEW. To mend their relationship, he proposed a peace offering and extended his hand for a truce.
Tony Khan seemed receptive, agreeing to Perry’s olive branch with a handshake. However, the situation took a sudden and violent turn when Perry, without warning, struck Khan, sending him to the mat. The shock reverberated through the audience as the AEW EVPs, The Young Bucks, along with renowned wrestler Kazuchika Okada, rushed to the ring. Initially, it appeared they intended to de-escalate the situation, but to everyone’s surprise, they joined Perry in attacking Khan, leaving him incapacitated in the ring.
As officials hurried to assist the fallen Khan, the show concluded with Perry, The Young Bucks, and Okada standing united, signaling a new alliance within AEW. This unexpected and brutal assault not only left Khan seriously injured but also stunned the AEW roster and fans. The dramatic incident led Khan’s father, Shahid Khan, along with other AEW personnel, to rush to the ring to check on Tony Khan’s condition, signaling the potential for significant repercussions in the weeks to come.
The Young Bucks took to their official Twitter and changed up their header, which now features a photo of Tony Khan being laid out following their brutal Meltzer Driver.
Tony Khan sported neck brace during his appearance at the 2024 NFL Draft. We will have to wait and see how AEW will continue to book The Elite’s storyline with Tony Khan, as it is likely Khan might become a regular on-screen character on AEW television going forward.
