AEW President Tony Khan Reveals Biggest Regret Following Jay Briscoe Death

Tony Khan, president of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), has identified his biggest regret since launching AEW as never being able to feature ROH Hall of Famer Jay Briscoe on AEW Dynamite before Jay's tragic death in a car accident in 2023. Despite multiple attempts and Jay attending several AEW shows, parent company Warner Bros. Discovery's management policies at the time prevented Jay and his brother Mark Briscoe from appearing on AEW programming. Khan fought hard to get Jay on the show and expressed remorse that Jay never had the chance to perform on AEW television, although Mark Briscoe has since become a prominent AEW roster member. The Briscoe Brothers are renowned for their success in Ring of Honor, particularly after Khan's acquisition of ROH in 2022, where they had a legendary rivalry and won the ROH Tag Team Championships. Khan also praised the partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, highlighting its importance for AEW's growth and ability to reach wider, younger audiences through streaming on HBO Max alongside broadcasts on TBS and TNT. The situation reflects AEW's complex navigation of corporate policies and its commitment to honoring wrestling legacies while expanding its brand.
