Can AEW survive the FBI doxing scandal, or is this the beginning of the end?

Talking about Tony Khan and his management is something that some familiar faces of wrestling have done in recent months. Notable wrestling personalities such as Eric Bischoff and Booker T have become critics of the duties of the President of All Elite Wrestling. This wave of criticism often makes news but for the wrong reasons. However, this time, it was a wrestling fan who brought the AEW President under media scrutiny again.

The fan brought AEW and Tony Khan into the spotlight by actually reporting them to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for allegedly being involved in doxing. For the unaware, doxing refers to the act of publicly revealing someone’s private information as punishment or revenge. The X user claimed to be a victim of doxing and lodged a complaint against Khan. He claimed that the AEW head honcho and his promotion exposed the private information of several individuals. So what’s next for Tony Khan?

As of now, there is no specific federal statute that explicitly criminalizes doxing in the United States. However, it can come under some federal laws based on several situations. Nevertheless, the user Technibility elaborated on the specifics of his complaint.

They stated, ”Re: Complaint against All Elite Wrestling, LLC. I am one of many individuals and victims of internet doxing, encouraged by All Elite Wrestling, LLC, owned by Tony Khan, their employees, their consumers, and subsidiaries. There will be evidence provided to showcase that All Elite Wrestling, LLC at large has promoted their consumer base to act in such a manner that exposes people’s private information, photos, and other data to be used against them, with no denouncement of egregious behavior, accountability, or any action by All Elite Wrestling, LLC or its counterparts to denounce said unethical activity and business practices.

Along with the data and proof I will provide, there will be a multitude of examples of intentional targeted harassment, data leaks, slander, libel, and other instances of abuse that can potentially lead to a class-action lawsuit against All Elite Wrestling, LLC, along with subsidiary organizations and internet publications who have encouraged this behavior, as well as lower-level social media users (who will be named) that have been tasked with encouraging doxing of anyone with dissenting opinions on various social media platforms against All Elite Wrestling, LLC”

The complainant deletes his Twitter account after outlining details of his complaint

After expressing the chain of events that transpired and filing the case, the user soon deleted his Twitter account. If the user decides to withdraw the case, then Tony Khan wouldn’t have to face a stiff battle. However, considering the fact that the user has filed a complaint and provided the necessary evidence, it doesn’t look like the user will withdraw the case. It looks likely that the AEW president would have to confront the accusations. As of now, he has yet to address these claims.
