AEW President Tony Khan appeared on The Rich Eisen Show and fulfilled his promise to donate his neck brace for a charity auction, as well as contributing $100,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The neck brace was the same one Khan wore during the NFL Draft, following an attack by The Elite on AEW Dynamite.
Khan tweeted, “Thank you @richeisen for having me on today to talk about AEW! It’s an honor to be on @RichEisenShow + I’m honored to donate $100,000 to @StJude on behalf of @AEW , and affix the neck brace to your uncanny bust! @toojiggy, see you at Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite on TBS tonight!”
During Tuesday night’s episode of “Inside the NBA,” it was revealed that AEW presented replica belts and sneakers to all five hosts of the show – Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, and Draymond Green.
The NBA acknowledged The Young Bucks on social media for the generous gesture.
Tony Khan wrote, “It’s an honor for us that Inside the NBA hosts unbeaten AEW wrestler @SHAQ , @TheJetOnTNT , Charles Barkley, @Money23Green + @TurnerSportsEJ received their own @AEW World Championship belts on @NBAonTNT tonight Thank you TNT!

The NBA tweeted, “Chuck: “These belts heavy as hell!” 😂 Shaq: “I’m rocking this to the hookah bar tonight!” 😭 The @AEW Champs, @youngbucks gifted the Inside crew with custom championship belt replicas and exclusive championship sneaker belts 🙌🔥”
