Tony Khan finally breaks silence on The Elite and Jack Perry vicious attack on AEW Dynamite

Tony Khan opened up about him getting attacked on a recent edition of Dynamite.

On Dynamite this week, Jack Perry came face to face with Khan in the ring and shook his hands after being reinstated by him following his suspension. Surprisingly, The Scapegoat punched him in the abdomen immediately after. Later, the concerned Young Bucks confronted Jack Perry and held him back, only to hit the AEW President with 'Tony Khan Piledriver.'

Later, the locker room came out to check on the boss to close the show. Tony's father, Shahid Khan also made his first ever appearance on AEW TV, as he looked on in concern at his son. Also,Khan wore a neck brace to last night's NFL draft, selling the move.

Speaking in an interview with NFL Network, the AEW President opened up about the incident. He claimed that he reinstated Perry, only to get punched by him. He also said that the attack scared him and his family.

“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,” he said.
