Following the Worlds End PPV, AEW held their aforementioned traditional post-show media scrum, and Khan was asked to comment on safety concerns within AEW, and this is what the AEW President had to say:

"I think it applies to everyone in the company, women and men, and it's something we're very serious about and we've had a policy in place and certainly, anytime there is anything like that, we would make sure we do everything we can to prevent it. AEW has the best safety record, I believe, of any pro wrestling company in the world. I believe we have the most safe environment…”

Khan then added:

“I believe we have the best safety record of any pro wrestling company, and I would hold the record of AEW on safety against any wrestling company in the world and I think AEW is the safest place for pro wrestling. If any of our wrestlers ever have a concern, they always have an open line to talk to me and I believe anybody would sit here and tell you, they always can talk to me anytime they are concerned about anything…”

"If there was anything that came to light to me, I would take it to the disciplinary committee and that's how we've been doing it. Our disciplinary committee has been doing a great job and everybody knows they have an open line to me or anybody on that committee."

Later on, during the scrum, Khan was asked directly to comment on the allegations towards Chris Jericho, and Khan would claim that he simply can’t comment on “unsourced internet rumors”:

“I can’t speak to internet and unsourced rumors. I spoke earlier to [Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Kevin McElvaney] and mentioned the policy we have in place, the disciplinary process. We’ve always followed that and I believe AEW is the safest wrestling company in the world. And we have the best track record for safety. I would hold it up to anybody. And anytime anybody has any kind of complaint, they have an open door to say it to me or anyone in the office, and we would look into it anytime. So again, Kevin asked about that policy. I believe I gave a pretty robust answer on that, and it would apply here too….”

Fans are calling Khan out on this answer, especially because Khan’s claims about AEW’s safety record are laughable.

AEW has seen numerous acts of physicality take place backstage, and Khan himself even “feared for his life” when former AEW star, CM Punk reportedly “lunged” towards him at the All In PPV.
