Christopher Dispensa, who briefly worked with the company in 2023, filed a lawsuit against the AEW World Champion and the company due to an incident in Moxley's steel cage match with Kenny Omega. In what was an unscripted moment, Mox shoved Dispensa, who was in his way at one moment, which reportedly led to physical injury.

Tony Khan was asked to comment on this during the media call for All In: Texas. He did not address this directly but instead commented on the safety of every staff member being of utmost importance. He mentioned how he could not comment on the current situation:

“I definitely can’t comment on pending litigation. In this case, we really do care about the safety of everybody here, whether it’s the talent, fans, or people working backstage, in the truck, around the ring, the production team, and we all work together. That is first and foremost. It’s a family of wrestlers, staff, and fans all working together to make these shows great 52 weeks a year. We all need each other. Beyond that, I can’t comment much on pending litigation.” [H/T Fightful]
