Tony Khan discusses getting attacked by The Young Bucks.
The Young Bucks dropped Tony Khan with a Tony Khan Driver in the closing moments of the April 24 episode of AEW Dynamite. The AEO CEO has since made multiple appearances on NFL programming while wearing a neck brace.
During an appearance on NFL Network, Khan, who also serves as the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Chief Football Strategy Officer, discussed getting attacked by The Elite on AEW Dynamite.
“They changed the name to the Tony Khan Driver. Maybe I should have seen it coming, in hindsight,” said Khan. “They called it the Tony Khan Driver,” he said. “I have a complicated relationship with Matt and Nick and Jack. Jack had been out of AEW for a while, I sent him on an excursion to our partner in Japan, he did great things.
“I reinstated him Wednesday night, by his own request. He repaid me by hitting me in the stomach with a microphone. Then, Matt and Nick pulled me up and gave me the Tony Khan Driver, which is a spike pile driver. It’s really one of the deadliest moves in pro wrestling. It’s been banned in a lot of states, it’s illegal in the state of Tennessee.”
Tony Khan On The Attack Scaring His Family
Khan then mentioned that the attack “scared” him and his family. He stated that he was lucky to be able to do the interview and participate at the 2024 NFL Draft.
“For them to do that to me, it scared me and it scared my family. I feel lucky that I’m here at the NFL Draft and with the Jaguars.” (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
During the interview, Tony Khan also called WWE the Harvey Weinstein of professional wrestling. Check out his comments here.
