Tony Khan wins auction for his own legendary neck brace, donates an unbelievable figure

AEW President Tony Khan recently made a generous donation, as he gifted his neck brace to The Rich Eisen Show. On the April 24, 2024, edition of Dynamite, The Young Bucks and Jack Perry set up a trap for the AEW CEO, which Khan walked into quite easily. He then faced the repercussions of trusting the heels and became the recipient of a punch to the gut, followed by a nasty piledriver.

After the attack, fans saw Tony sporting a neck brace at the NFL Draft. The 41-year-old recently appeared on The Rich Eisen Show. During the show, veteran NFL host Rich Eisen revealed that when he saw Khan sporting a neck brace at the Draft, he hoped to acquire it and auction it off for charity.

Khan showed his interest at the time, and the AEW honcho revealed at the show that he would auction the brace for $100,000, the proceeds of which would go to St. Jude's Hospital. He also asked Eisen if the latter was comfortable with keeping the brace on the show. And the veteran host responded in the affirmative.

The Rich Eisen Show later thanked the AEW CEO for his kind gesture on Instagram:

"Thanks to @tonyrkhan for gifting the neck brace to us and generously donating $100,000 to #RunRichRun and #StJude!''

Khan responded by expressing his appreciation and gratitude for Rich Eisen and the show.

"Thank you for having me on @richeisenshow! I'm honored to donate $100,000 to @stjude," Khan wrote.
