For fans wondering why Tony Khan didn’t mention the controversy directly, it appears there are legal reasons as to why we saw a pre taped interview from Khan on AEW Dynamite.
In the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer discussed Tony’s decision not to reference the brawl, stating he couldn’t directly mention it for legal reasons.
Because of a lot of potential legal issues, Tony Khan at the start of the show in a taped interview only said that due to actions of the past week he was forced to vacate both titles, and then announced the three-week-long Grand Slam tournament for the AEW title and that the trios title vacancy would be filled on the show.

The trios titles would be won by Death Triangle after a match with The Best Friends on this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite.
