Tony Khan’s participation in the NFL Draft this weekend might be uncertain after the brutal attack he endured from Jack Perry and The Young Bucks during AEW Dynamite, as his status has now been deemed questionable.
Tony Khan fell victim to a surprising ambush on AEW Dynamite, causing his status for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2024 NFL Draft commitments to become uncertain. Khan was attacked during what seemed like reconciliation attempt with Jack Perry, who had other intentions. Perry punched Khan in the gut, leading to a broader assault by The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada, leaving Khan lying in the ring.
The Young Bucks performed their signature Meltzer Driver on Khan, causing significant chaos, prompting not only the AEW locker room but also Shahid Khan, Tony’s father and owner of the Jaguars, to rush to the ring to check on him. This intense scene left the fate of Khan’s involvement in the NFL Draft in question.
Grant Gordon of NFL.com noticed the incident, writing about it on the NFL website, raising questions about Khan’s ability to fulfill his duties with the Jaguars during the draft. Khan, who serves as the Jaguars’ chief football strategy officer, was initially expected to be part of the draft process.
”Tony Khan’s status for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2024 NFL Draft obligations could be questionable.
Khan, the Jags’ chief football strategy officer and the founder, owner and booker of All Elite Wrestling, took a punch to the gut and a “Meltzerdriver” piledriver Wednesday night live on AEW Dynamite from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida.
Shad Khan, Tony’s father and the owner of the Jaguars, took to the ring to check on his son in the aftermath of the drama.”
The aftermath of his injury could lead to him selling the attack by not being present or wearing a neck brace, hinting at a potential storyline crossover. The developments at AEW Dynamite have created uncertainty not only within AEW but also in the NFL circles that rely on Khan’s expertise, as fans feel kayfabe is truly alive in the NFL now.
