Why Tony Khan is showing backstage footage from All In on Dynamite tonight

Tony Khan once again finds himself in the spotlight. As the President of AEW, he recently sat down for an interview with Uproxx to discuss tonight’s episode of Dynamite. One of the main talking points of the show will be the Young Bucks revealing backstage footage of an altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry at last summer’s All In London pay-per-view. This incident ultimately led to Punk’s departure from the promotion. Fans were curious about AEW’s decision to air the footage and whether it was a response to Punk’s negative remarks about Khan and AEW during an interview with Ariel Helwani at WrestleMania XL week.

Khan emphasizes that the footage will play a crucial role in AEW storylines, particularly as they gear up for their inaugural Dynasty pay-per-view event.

“For us, this decision was made with the upcoming AEW Dynasty pay-per-view in mind, as well as the Young Bucks’ participation in the World Tag Team Championship Tournament finals at AEW Dynasty,” Khan explains. “It was the perfect moment for them to share this footage, discuss its significance to them and AEW’s future, and set the stage for AEW Dynasty.”

Tonight’s episode of Dynamite will also treat fans to exciting matches, including Adam Copeland taking on Penta El Zero Miedo for the TNT Championship, Samoa Joe facing off against Dustin Rhodes, and appearances by top stars like Mercedes Moné.
