The most recent episode of AEW Dynamite had a segment no one ever thought would come true. Breaking out of his CEO shell, Tony Khan was laid out on the mat by Jack Perry and The Young Bucks. In a move that has fans divided, everyone is puzzled about where this storyline is headed. The New Elite has attacked their boss, so will there be any repercussions? However, while fans debated what happened, they united over what they call Khan’s botch during the segment.

The segment also featured the AEW head honcho’s father, Shad Khan, making his debut in AEW, which raised more eyebrows about the direction of this storyline.

Did Tony Khan botch the gut punch by Jack Perry?

After thanking and complimenting Khan in the ring, a returning Jack Perry raised the CEO’s hand to rousing applause. However, the celebration would not last long as Perry gut-punched Khan, laying him out. While Khan’s initial sell as a non-wrestler was good, there was a moment of stillness before he reacted to the punch after hitting the mat. This is when fans began questioning whether it was deliberate or a botch.

Following this, The Young Bucks with Kazuchika Okada seemingly calmed Perry down. However, they also showed their true colors as they hit Khan with a TK diver. While Khan lay still in the ring, the New Elite scurried away to make way for the medics and Shad Khan to check on the fallen CEO. On Instagram, fans commented on the segment video uploaded by the official AEW social media page.

Fans compare Khan’s sell to Vince McMahon getting a Stunner

On Instagram, fan’s comments had the same sentiment. They compared Khan’s sell to that of WWE’s former boss Vince McMahon. McMahon was notorious for being unable to sell Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Stunner. Here are the top comments.

The first comments was on the choice of the bump and the booking decision to get some cheap heat.

“Tony really back bumped on a gut punch” 

“These guys couldn’t draw heat if they lit a fire pit. The beating the boss angle has been done to death in pro wrestling”

“As long as Tony doesn’t become a recurring character on the show I’m cool with an angle like this.”

The next was the comparison to McMahon selling the Stone Cold Stunner. In many instances, McMahon would just fall over rather than sell it.

“Wow… that looked like an low budget Vince McMahon”

“That sell was worse than Vince’s”

“Tony made Vince’s selling of the Stone Cold Stunner look absolutely brilliant!!!”

Many were not ready to give the angle a chance. They have already made their decision on the storyline, and it’s not in Khan’s favor.

“Tony Clown booking continues 🤡”

“Cringe af 😂😂😂😂😂”

“Ok now, he will fire them, cause he was afraid for his life 😂😂😂”
