Jim Ross: I Was Proud Of Tony Khan For Wearing The Neckbrace During The NFL Draft

Posted: May 5th 2024 By: Angel Aramboles

The Elite takeover of AEW storyline continued this week after they attacked Tony Khan on last week's show. Coming out of last week's show, many were wondering how Khan would sell the attack because he had to appear on camera during the NFL Draft.

Khan wore a neckbrace and maintained kayfabe when he was asked about the angle. In the storyline, he is not cleared to travel so The Young Bucks are running the show until Khan returns. While speaking on "Grilling JR" podcast, Ross said he was shocked at the events of last week and then he praised Khan for selling the injury during the NFL Draft.

Ross said, "I was waiting to see if Tony was gonna follow through and complete the cycle by wearing a neckbrace and he did. I was proud of him for doing that because it was old school. Now whether you like the angle or you didn't like the angle, that's another issue but him following through and wearing the neckbrace...good for Tony Khan on that deal. That was old school like thinking and I'm really glad that he wore the neckbrace."

Conrad Thompson said he's looking forward to seeing where this storyline goes and he pointed out that those who have asked for more stories in AEW are getting them now.

This week on Dynamite, The Elite brutally attacked EVP Kenny Omega. So it looks like Omega will be out for a while and then he'll return to get his revenge whenever he's fully recovered from surgery related to diverticulitis.
