Was Tony Khan Legitimately Injured by Young Bucks & Jack Perry on Dynamite?

Tony Khan received a blow from his talents in Dynamite tonight during a shocking course of events. CM Punk’s previous assaulters, Jack Perry and Young Bucks, emerged as the culprits. They handed a punch to the AEW head honcho’s gut, and a Meltzerdriver piledriver, leaving his 2024 NFL Draft obligations in deep question. Although it has occurred merely as a storyline, Khan getting physically involved and getting injured to this extent inside the ring for the very first time shell-shocked the AEW Universe. His father’s timely appearance to check in on him added even more legitimacy to the entire drama.

So that begs the question. Did Tony Khan get legit injured during the segment of AEW Dynamite?

How did Tony Khan end up taking bumps for AEW for the very first time? Explained.

The storyline is pretty straightforward. Jack Perry has been on the shelf indefinitely for his infamous All-In brawl with CM Punk at Wembley Stadium. He resumed his in-ring endeavor at the Dynasty pay-per-view this past Sunday to come to the save of The Young Bucks in their world tag team title match. This week again, on the April 24 episode of Dynamite, Perry teamed up with Young Bucks to call Khan out after a brief backstage meeting.

In the final moments of the show, Perry showcased fake loyalty and gratitude to AEW and Khan, saying he just wants what’s best for the promotion. He even gave the AEW president a tight hug. Quickly after, the situation took a 180-degree turn, with Perry turning on the AEW head honcho out of the blue. At this point, The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada tried to calm Perry down, including teasing the EVP Trigger. However, they didn’t go through with it before hitting the Meltzer Driver on Khan.

It led to many wrestlers and Jaguars’ owner, Shahid Khan, rushing to the ring, concerned and standing over his son. On the other hand, NFL higher-ups have already cast doubt on the AEW personality’s presence in the NFL Draft 2024. Nevertheless, the segment was pre-planned with Tony Khan’s first foray into a storyline, catered and curated to attract eyeballs over the sheer spectacle of it. However, a dark cloud hangs over his participation in the NFL Draft.

Will the AEW president be present for the NFL Draft 2024? 

The National Football League is gearing up to host the NFL Draft on Thursday night from Detroit. But Jacksonville Jaguars executive Tony Khan had some more pressing business to execute at Daily’s Place as All Elite Wrestling’s Dynamite was back home in Jacksonville after years.

Now, it will be fascinating to see whether head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke will have Tony Khan on board, healing up from the vicious attack by Perry and the Young Bucks on Wednesday in Duval or not.

Also, even if Khan attends the NFL Draft, fans wonder if he will sell his injury wearing a neck brace in the Jaguar’s war room as it will be a direct reflection of his unwavering loyalty to the intricacies of pro wrestling.
