Report Reveals AEW President’s Efforts
Tony Khan worked hard to bring the Briscoes to AEW. That’s the report coming from Dave Meltzer even as the wrestling world continues mourning Jay Briscoe’s death.
Why didn’t Tony Khan do more to bring the Briscoes to AEW? That’s the question some fans are asking, especially after they tuned into the 18 January Dynamite and saw a very limited mention of Jay Briscoe’s passing.
As mentioned earlier this week, AEW’s broadcast partner Warner Brothers Discovery has maintained a policy of keeping the Briscoes off TV due to comments Jay Briscoe posted on social media years ago.
However, that doesn’t mean Tony didn’t try to get the Briscoes in front of AEW fans. According to Dave Meltzer:
“This past year there were many attempts to get them on the show. They were actually flown in a few times to television, but they weren’t allowed to be used. There were plans for them on the 9/4 All Out show in Chicago, to be in a six-man tag with FTR & Wardlow vs. The Briscoes & Jay Lethal. But without being able to promote it on television and because the broadcast partners didn’t want them on AEW broadcasts, the decision was made to bring the Motor City Machine Guns in out of nowhere to team with Lethal.”

Obviously, there’s only so much that Khan could do as AEW’s future revolves around its TV rights deal.
