Tony Khan’s Biggest Regret in AEW Will Break Your Heart. In the world of All Elite Wrestling, Tony Khan has been at the center of countless unforgettable moments, from shocking debuts to historic matches. But recently, on My Mom’s Basement Podcast, the AEW President revealed something deeply personal — a moment that never happened, and one that still weighs heavily on him. This is the story of Tony Khan’s biggest regret in AEW, and why it will break your heart.
Tony Khan opened up about his relentless efforts to feature Jay Briscoe on AEW television. He explained how he fought behind the scenes to make it happen, inviting Jay and his brother Mark Briscoe to AEW Dynamite multiple times. Yet, despite their presence, the Briscoes never appeared on-screen. “I fought really hard to get Jay Briscoe on the show… I really wish I’d been able to have Jay Briscoe on Dynamite just one time,” Khan admitted.
A Battle Behind the Curtain
According to Khan, it wasn’t for lack of trying. At the time, AEW was under different management, and network approval for certain appearances wasn’t as straightforward. “It was a different time. It wasn’t Mr. Zaslav. I could have now literally gone to him,” Khan said, reflecting on how circumstances have changed since then. His words paint a picture of a promoter determined to give fans what they deserved, yet bound by limitations outside his control.
The Briscoes, one of the most respected tag teams in wrestling history, were no strangers to AEW fans. Their matches in Ring of Honor, which Khan also owns, earned them a loyal following. But the dream of seeing Jay Briscoe compete on AEW Dynamite never came true — a fact that still lingers as a painful “what if” in Khan’s mind.
A Missed Moment That Could Have Been
Khan’s regret isn’t just professional; it’s emotional. Jay Briscoe tragically passed away in January 2023, making that missed opportunity final. “That’s my biggest regret by far,” Khan said, his tone reflecting not just the loss of a wrestler, but of a moment that could have meant everything to fans and to Jay himself.
For AEW, moments like these are a reminder that wrestling is more than just storylines and championships. It’s about giving wrestlers their rightful place in front of fans who love them, and sometimes, those chances slip away forever.
Remembering Jay Briscoe’s Legacy
While Jay Briscoe never appeared on Dynamite, his legacy in professional wrestling remains untouchable. From his hard-hitting style to his unmatched chemistry with Mark Briscoe, Jay’s influence stretches far beyond one missed AEW appearance. Fans continue to celebrate his career, and Khan’s heartfelt admission only deepens the respect for both men.
Jay Briscoe’s absence from AEW television will forever be a bittersweet chapter — a reminder that even in the fast-moving world of pro wrestling, there are moments you can never get back.
