Tony Khan took to Twitter to land a series of tweets on Fox News. Fox’s sports editor Ryan Gaydos published an opinion article this week over AEW President and his father and top AEW investor Shad Khan one of the quotes regarding Shad said “had the rough first 15 days of December mid-December. [their] business with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the family’s venture into professional wrestling with All Elite Wrestling.
The article peeked into the firing of the NFL’S Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer this past week. Meyers was fired just after 11 months in charge, he managed the Jaguar for 13 games only. Meyers sacking was said to have been triggered because of an unfiled collision between him and the player. Shad Khan sacked him just a few hours after former Jaguar’s striker Josh Lambo accused the coach of hitting him during a training session last summer.\

“Dynamite’ peaked at 1.319 million viewers on September 8 as Punk spoke to fans for the first time since appearing at All Out. ‘Rampage’ peaked at 1.129 million on August 20 when Punk debuted in Chicago. Since then, things have cooled down with ‘Rampage’, which has attracted around 500,000 viewers. ‘Dynamite’ attracted more than 900,000 moviegoers on Wednesday for the first time since mid-November thanks to the special ‘Winter is Coming’. As things move into the new year, Jaguar will return to square one with a high draft pick and need a new coach for the 2022 season. AEW will look to build on some of the momentum gained at end of 2021. AEW will have plenty of time to build top stars as the first PPV of 2022 won’t be set until March.”
