AEW founder Tony Khan was a guest on “The Rich Eisen Show” last week. Khan, who is also an executive for the Jacksonville Jaguars, continued his kayfabe angle on the show of being injured by Jack Perry and The Young Bucks, but he used the injury to make an amazing donation to Eisen’s “Run Rich Run” charity benefitting St. Jude.
During the NFL Draft, Khan was seen on television wearing a neck brace, and Eisen referenced it and AEW during his coverage of the event. He brought it up again during Khan’s appearance last week./
“I’ve never seen an executive wearing a neck brace in the draft room,” Eisen said. “You are the chief football strategy officer of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I’ve not seen anybody in draft room in a neck brace before.”
Khan replied: “This is like our Andy Kaufman moment, Rich,” and then explained the entire situation. Khan then brought out the neck brace and signed it for Eisen’s charity to auction live on the show. Once the auction started, he then bid $100,000 for the neck brace and gifted it to the Rich Eisen studio.
