Tony Khan ‘Scared’ Following Jack Perry & Young Bucks AEW Attack

AEW

AEW President and CEO Tony Khan admits to being “scared” following Jack Perry and The Young Bucks’ attack on AEW Dynamite.

On the April 24 edition of AEW Dynamite, Jack Perry made his return and had an in-ring confrontation with AEW CEO Tony Khan. After Khan reinstated him, Perry punched his boss in the stomach with a microphone before The Elite’s Kazuchika Okada, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson came down to the ring.

The Young Bucks proceeded to give Khan the “TK Driver,” dropping him on his head to leave him laid out to close the show.

During the April 25 NFL Draft broadcast, Khan, who is part of the management team for the Jacksonville Jaguars, appeared in the draft room sporting a neck brace to sell the effects of the attack.

In a new interview for the NFL Network to talk about the NFL Draft, Tony Khan addressed the attack from Jack Perry and The Young Bucks. He said:

“I have a complicated relationship with Matt and Nick and Jack. Jack had been out of AEW for a while we sent him on an excursion to our partner in Japan where he did great things.”

“I reinstated him Wednesday night on TBS by his own request he repaid me by hitting me in the stomach with a microphone and then Matt and Nick pulled me up and gave me the Tony Khan Driver which is really a spike piledriver it’s 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 and for them to do that to me in front of millions of people around the world and a great audience live Wednesday night on TBS it scared me and it scared my family, and I just feel really lucky that I’m here at the NFL draft and with the Jaguars and able to still be working at the Jaguars and AEW right now.”
