Tony Khan, AEW’s fearless leader, really shook up the sports world this week—not just by taking a spectacular piledriver from The Young Bucks, but by delivering a body slam of his own with his words! After getting slammed on “AEW Dynamite,” Khan didn’t just wear his battle scars; he wore them into the NFL Draft, neck brace and all, because why stop the show when you can be the show?
During his NFL Network appearance, where he was supposed to talk football, Khan couldn’t resist taking a jab at WWE, calling them “the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling.” Talk about throwing down the gauntlet! This comment left the hosts scrambling faster than a quarterback with a busted play.
Tony boldly claimed, “We are the most successful sports startup since the AFL, pre-merger. AEW is like the Pepsi of pro-wrestling.” Meanwhile, WWE got served the ultimate heel promo, being branded as something far more sinister. With the wrestling world buzzing and the sports analysts puzzled, Khan reminded everyone to tune into AEW on Wednesday if they wanted the scoop on his ‘injury’—because in wrestling, the saga always continues.
Even Pat McAfee, over on ESPN, couldn’t help but note Khan’s dramatic accessory, the neck brace, though he cleverly avoided the wrestling drama. The NFL draft room became an unexpected ring for wrestling promo, proving once again that Tony Khan is not just playing in the big leagues—he’s trying to redefine them.
