NFL recently released an official statement about Tony Khan's status for the draft after witnessing the brutal attack on the President of the company.

The AEW honcho and Jack Perry met inside the ring for a chat, where the latter wished to be back in the company, to which the former agreed. Soon after, The Jungle Boy punched Khan in the gut. It looked like The Young Bucks rushed out to save their boss, but attacked him instead.

The NFL draft will commence on April 25 and conclude on April 27. Khan is the owner of the NFL team, Jacksonville Jaguars. According to the latest NFL report, his appearance at the marquee event has come under jeopardy following the events on Dynamite.

NFL commented that Khan's Draft obligations could be "questionable" since he took a couple of hits inside the ring. The report also acknowledged that it was all a part of the storyline, but since this is the first time the AEW President was involved physically in the company, his presence at the NFL draft is not guaranteed.
