Tony Khan Confirms 5/1 AEW Dynamite Will Address Current Power Struggle

Last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite shocked fans with an unexpected twist as The Elite and Jack Perry teamed up for a surprise attack on AEW CEO Tony Khan. This bold move sent shockwaves through the AEW universe, raising questions about the ongoing power struggle within the company. In response, Khan has confirmed that this storyline will be addressed on the upcoming episode of Dynamite, promising more revelations and developments.

Tony Khan found himself in a precarious situation on AEW Dynamite following a shocking ambush by Jack Perry. The incident occurred during what seemed to be an attempt at reconciliation between Khan and Perry, but Perry suddenly turned violent, striking Khan in the gut. This initial attack triggered a rapid escalation as The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada joined Perry, leading to brutal assault that left Khan incapacitated in the ring.

In a recent interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Tony Khan talked about the surprise attack by The Elite and running AEW remotely in light of these events. Given his absence from the AEW set due to the incident, Khan was asked about who was in charge and whether there would be an authority figure stepping in to manage operations.

“We all have experience working outside the office. During the lockdown, we got used to meetings on Teams and Zoom,” Khan said.
