Tony Khan recently provided an update on the infamous AEW All Out backstage incident investigation.
While the last pay-per-view was a massive success, it was marred by one of the biggest scandals in AEW's young history. In the post-show media scrum, CM Punk went off on a verbal tirade while calling out Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Colt Cabana, and Hangman Adam Page for multiple reasons.
The comments resulted in a backstage brawl in which Punk allegedly hit one of the Young Bucks with a chair. As a result, many All Elite Personnel were suspended while an independent investigation was launched.
Speaking to Variety ahead of Dynamite's third-anniversary show, Tony Khan stated that the aforementioned investigation was still ongoing. He further spoke about the setbacks he had suffered in the company to date.

"That was when I started to say, ‘You know, a lot of these setbacks were very preventable, and there were things that I didn’t even want to do in the first place. So I just said going forward that I’m only going to do ideas that I feel good about. … As I gained experience in wrestling, I started to gain more confidence," said Khan. [H/T: Fightful]
As of now, it remains to be seen what the ongoing investigation will reveal in the future.
Reports of another backstage altercation recently surfaced in AEW
While Tony Khan claims to have learned a lot over the years of experience handling his brand, this apparently has not stopped the locker issues with his roster.
A recent report by Fightful Select claims that there was a heated dispute between Andrade El Idolo and Sammy Guevara recently, with The Spanish God allegedly shoving the Mexican star and the latter replying with a punch.
Tony Khan subsequently removed Andrade from this week's scheduled match against Pres10 Vance on Rampage.
Sportskeeda will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they are made available.
