Tony Khan Says He Can’t Comment On Jon Moxley-AEW Lawsuit; Update On Case Possibly Moving To Federal Court
Tony Khan comments on Christopher Dispensa’s lawsuit against AEW.
In June, Dispensa filed a lawsuit against the company alleging negligence, civil assault and battery. The suit stems from a 2023 incident where Jon Moxley shoved Dispensa to the ground during his match with Kenny Omega on a May episode of AEW Dynamite.
Notably, Dispensa’s legal team claimed that he suffered neck and shoulder injuries from the incident. During the AEW All In Texas media call, Tony Khan chose to not comment on the suit directly, saying that AEW cares about the safety of everyone in the company.
“I definitely can’t comment on pending litigation. In this case, we really do care about the safety of everybody here, whether it’s the talent, fans, or people working backstage, in the truck, around the ring, the production team, and we all work together. That is first and foremost. It’s a family of wrestlers, staff, and fans all working together to make these shows great 52 weeks a year. We all need each other. Beyond that, I can’t comment much on pending litigation.”
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics recently provided an update on the lawsuit, revealing that Judge Matthew Leitman has asked AEW to provide a better case as to why the lawsuit should be moved to federal court. The promotion filed for this back on July 3.
Elsewhere in the scrum, Khan commented on the future of both the International and Continental Championship in AEW. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
