Tony Khan Teases Adding Authority Figure, Says ‘Power Struggle’ Will Be Addressed On AEW Dynamite

Tony Khan might have another ace up his sleeve.

Khan recently spoke about his pending absence from AEW TV due to the (storyline) attack on him by Jack Perry and The Elite. AEW claims Khan is unable to travel due to multiple injuries he sustained last week, and he spoke about his status with Scott Fishman for TV Insider.

Fishman asked Khan if fans should expect an authority figure of sorts while Khan stays in Jacksonville. Khan said if fans want answers about the “highest-ranking official” on-site on Wednesday, they should stay tuned.

“We all have experience working outside the office. During the lockdown, we got used to meetings on Teams and Zoom. I’ll still be overseeing AEW and managing the show remotely. As for who will be the highest-ranking official onsite, stay tuned Wednesday. It will certainly be addressed this week on TBS, this power struggle that is happening in AEW.”

Tony Khan was also asked about Kenny Omega’s return on this week’s show. Khan said it’s the perfect time for The Cleaner to come back.

“I can’t wait to have Kenny Omega back in AEW. It’s the perfect time for Kenny to return. I know Kenny Omega has been recovering at home since he was fired from The Elite by The Young Bucks last month. It’s the perfect time for Kenny Omega to return on May 1.”

“He was angry and concerned. Mostly very angry.”

One of the other more noticeable parts of The Elite’s attack on Khan was the appearance of his father, Shad, on AEW TV. Tony shared what it meant to have his dad on TV, noting that there was a lot of love and concern… and anger.

“It was nice of him to be on the show on one hand, but the reason for it is another. It meant a lot for him to come out to check on me. He is an incredible father and a loving parent and a great man. I’ve learned so much from him. I know he cares a lot. Nobody wants to see their son out cold and recovering from a deadly piledriver move. You saw he was concerned. You saw it on his face. He was angry and concerned. Mostly very angry.”
