Why Jaguars executive, AEW president Tony Khan is in a neck brace at the NFL draft
Denver Post
If you’re wondering why one of the Jaguars’ executives appears to be injured, the answer is simple: the son of the late actor Luke Perry attacked him, along with several other pro wrestlers.
Jacksonville executive Tony Khan, the president and CEO of All Elite Wrestling and son of Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, was on the receiving end of an attack on AEW “Dynamite” Wednesday night. Khan — who is rarely seen on screen and never in any storylines — was attacked by Jack Perry after Khan had “officially” reinstated him from a suspension stemming from a real-life kerfuffle with CM Punk at the All In pay-per-view in August.
Perry and Khan embraced after they talked and then Perry punched the 41-year-old in the gut, sending him sprawling to the ground. The Young Bucks — executive vice presidents Nick and Matt Jackson — came out with Kazuchika Okada, seemingly to Khan’s aid. As the brothers helped Khan up, they teased performing their trademark EVP trigger — a double knee attack to the face — to the head of AEW. Instead, they gave him a “Tony Khan Driver” — a piledriver combined with an attack from the top rope.
Khan laid motionless in the ring before a referee came out to save him. A day later, he looks much better.
TONY KHAN, KAYFABE GOD. #NFLDraft #DUUUVAL #AEW
