At the same media scrum, Tony Khan was also asked about the absence of former TNT Champion, Scorpio Sky. He had a remarkable start in All Elite Wrestling, but has not been booked since September 2023. Moreover, Sky himself hinted at frustrations of being left out of the television product.

The AEW CEO and President addressed the situation. Khan revealed that he liked the former champion and even had a conversation with Scorpio Sky, but things went in a different direction than he had expected.

"I like Scorpio Sky and I have...it's interesting because Scorpio Sky's name came up recently, you mentioned he's looking to come back, and I have had talks with Scorpio Sky about the ideas and things we could do. Scorpio Sky is someone who's been here since day one, and I've a lot of respect, and I saw that he said that. I actually had talked to Scorpio Sky about doing something, and we ended up going in a different direction."

With Tony Khan breaking his silence on the subject, it remains to be seen if Scorpio Sky's situation could be handled in a way that leads to his return to AEW.
