[Watch] Unseen footage of Tony Khan retreating after Jack Perry was lit on fire at AEW PPV
AEW President Tony Khan is once again the talk of the wrestling world, as a video of him has gone viral. The 2024 Double or Nothing pay-per-view is officially in the books, and fans witnessed high action, drama, and bloodshed throughout the event. While Malakai Black poured out blood, Jack Perry was set aflame.
The Anarchy in the Arena bout is prominent for its violent and chaotic nature, and the third edition of the infamous match certainly lived up to its reputation. Team AEW battled against Team Elite, brawling through the crowd and backstage as 'The Final Countdown' blared over the speakers.
Late in the match, Jack Perry snatched Tony Khan from his seat at the control desk and dragged him out onto the entrance ramp. As soon as the Scapegoat threw Khan down the ramp, he was lit up by Darby Allin's flamethrower. Luckily, The Young Bucks immediately used a fire extinguisher to halt both the flames and Darby's rampage.
While Team Elite was busy extinguishing the fire, Tony Khan saw a window of opportunity and escaped to the back. The fan clip of the All Elite President comically rolling down the entrance ramp is going viral on different social media platforms.
