Below are a couple of top AEW & WWE news stories of the day, involving Tony Khan and Jimmy Uso.
• In the main event segment of last night’s AEW Dynamite, Jack Perry called Tony Khan to the ring and asked to reinstate him to All Elite Wrestling. Tony agreed, but Perry turned on him and punched him.
The Elite came out and told Jack to back off and helped Tony up to his feet. However, they also turned on Tony and took him out with The TK Driver.
Shahid Khan came out to check on his son Tony at the end. You can watch the complete segment below:

In a testament to his commitment to storytelling, Tony is taking the effects of the attack seriously, even on a closed set.
According to Fightful Select, Khan didn’t just sell the effects of his attack immediately after Dynamite went off the air, but continued to do so throughout the night.
AEW recorded the Parking Lot Brawl between Trent Beretta and Chuck Taylor for Saturday’s special Rampage at Daily’s Place after Dynamite, where Khan was present. The AEW CEO was visibly showing the effects of the attack on his neck and was seen wearing a neck brace.
There’s speculation among some wrestlers about whether he’ll continue to wear the brace for any on-camera appearances related to the NFL Draft in the coming days.

His last match took place at WrestleMania 40, where he lost to Jey Uso.
On the SmackDown after WrestleMania XL, Jimmy was written off WWE programming after being attacked by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga.
Due to the injury, Jimmy won’t be a part of the 2024 Draft, as he wasn’t listed in the pools for Friday’s SmackDown and Monday’s RAW. He’ll be a Free Agent for now.
