AEW’s Tony Khan Talks Injury Updates & Hints About Mark Davis’ Return

One big thing: Tony Khan is hoping for Mark Davis’ return

AEW CEO Tony Khan recently provided an update on injured star Mark Davis, expressing hope that he will be able to return to action soon.

• Davis, one half of the Aussie Open, has been sidelined since October 2023 with a wrist injury.
• Khan stated on “Wrestling Observer Radio” that Davis “will hopefully be back soon.”
• Aussie Open last appeared as a unit in AEW in October, when they challenged FTR for the World Tag Team Championship.

Why it matters

Davis’ return would significantly bolster AEW’s tag team division, reuniting a formidable team at the Aussie Open. His absence has left partner Kyle Fletcher working solo in the Don Callis Family faction.

AEW’s Approach to Injury Updates

Khan responded to AEW’s often scarce injury updates, citing privacy concerns:

• “Sometimes it’s because people have private medical issues,” Khan explains.
• He values ​​protecting the privacy of talent, but recognizes the need for clarity.
• Khan has considered hosting an ‘injury report show’ to better inform fans.

Balancing act

“I think the most important thing is that people feel comfortable. I don’t want to talk too much about someone’s injuries if they don’t want to,” Khan said.

The bigger picture

Injuries remain a hot topic in AEW:

• Lio Rush recently suffered an injury during the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
• Britt Baker made her comeback after almost a year of absence due to injury.

As AEW navigates these challenges, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on their favorite stars, including Mark Davis.
