Tony Khan comments on Shahid Khan's AEW cameo
AEW CEO Tony Khan was taken out by Jack Perry and The Young Bucks on last week's Dynamite. Following the attack, many stars from the locker room, including Tony's dad, Shahid Khan, made their way to the ring to check on him.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Tony addressed his father's cameo in AEW. He said Shahid Khan's presence meant a lot to him.
"It's one of those things that's amazed my dad [Shahid Khan]. He was not a big wrestling fan coming into this, and he's become a fan of AEW, and he really enjoys watching it. He obviously was at the show last week, as everybody saw when he came out at the end of Dynamite to check on me, and I love having him at the shows. It's unfortunate that's the way he had to come out and make his first appearance on AEW Dynamite, but it meant a lot that he came out to check on me, and it's cool that fans were so happy to see him," said Tony Khan.
