This week, the spotlight on AEW President and CEO Tony Khan diverged from his usual decision-making prowess on the product and televised programming. Instead, a surprising altercation unfolded during this edition of AEW Dynamite.

Jack Perry found himself in a face-to-face confrontation with Tony Khan to address their ongoing differences. In an unexpected twist, Perry offered an olive branch, seeking to mend fences with Khan for the greater good of AEW.

However, the situation took a dramatic turn when Perry unexpectedly lashed out at Khan, catching everyone off guard, including the audience and AEW personnel. The involvement of AEW EVPs The Young Bucks and wrestler Kazuchika Okada only escalated the situation, resulting in Khan enduring brutal assault in the ring.

Subsequently, Tony Khan made public appearance at the 2024 NFL Draft sporting a neck brace, hinting at potential repercussions within AEW’s storyline.
