Is he selling the drama,Oliver James Montgomery or is Tony Khan really injured?
The son of Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan showed up for the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night wearing a neck brace, 24 hours removed from getting beat up on AEW Dynamite.
Dynamite was held Wednesday night at Daily's Place, a venue connected to EverBank Stadium, the home of the Jaguars.
Khan was seen sitting in the Jaguars' war room wearing a neck brace as they selected Brian Thomas Jr. with the No. 23 overall pick in the draft. They initially had the 17th pick, but traded with the Minnesota Vikings to get the No. 23 pick, and a fifth-round pick.
What happened to Tony Khan at AEW Dynamite?
Khan, the Jaguars' chief football strategy officer and founder of AEW, found himself on the wrong end of a punch, followed by a pile driver.

Following the return of Jack Perry, the real-life son of the late Luke Perry (yes, Dylan from Beverly Hills 90210), things seemed to be going well until they weren't.
Perry, who had previously been suspended by the company — not a storyline, but something that stemmed from a real-life altercation with former AEW talent CM Punk — returned following the end of his suspension.
Khan and Perry seemed to have mended fences as they embraced, followed by the two raising each other's arms in the air, hand-in-hand.
Then, things went south as Perry gut-punched Khan with the microphone.
Khan's beating didn't end there. Then this happened...
Within seconds, the Young Bucks, brothers Matt and Nick Jackson, who are executive vice presidents within the company along with being on-screen talent, and top singles star Kazuchika Okada, sprinted to the ring to confront Perry.
They can be heard saying to Perry, "What the hell are you doing? This is a billionaire. You gotta be careful."
The Bucks help Khan to his feet, but then Okada gives the brothers two thumbs up. Nick picks up Khan in a pile driver position, and Matt goes up to the top rope to help deliver the "Meltzerdriver."
Perry then drags Khan into the center of the ring before a referee runs in, once again yelling, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Perry hops onto the second turnbuckle, faces the crowd, makes an obscene gesture and shares a few colorful words.
Nick then says "Thank you Jacksonville, we love you so much," and they exit the ring.
A concerned father makes his presence known
Once Perry, the Bucks and Okada exit, most of the talent backstage run to the ring to check on their boss followed closely by Tony's father, Shad Khan.
Shad has an extreme look of concern as the show goes off the air.
Is the NFL in on the storyline?
With the NFL draft being Thursday night, one night after Khan's attack, and the Jaguars going in with the No. 17 overall draft pick, the NFL issued a statement of sorts on Khan earlier in the day.
The NFL’s website said Khan’s “status for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2024 NFL draft obligations could be questionable,” as written by Digital Content Editor Grant Gordon.
Like a trooper, Khan showed up wearing a wrestling staple.
Was Tony Khan's neck brace at the NFL draft all part of the show, or was he really injured by Perry and the Young Bucks?
The world may never know.
