During the 2024 NFL Draft broadcast, Tony Khan appeared in the Jacksonville Jaguars draft war room, sporting a neck brace to sell the effects of Jack Perry and The Elite’s attack on the April 24 edition of AEW Dynamite.
In a new interview on the NFL Network to promote the second day of NFL Draft coverage, Khan said WWE are “like the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling,” which caused a lot of discussion on social media.
