Tony Khan atualiza status de lutadores da AEW em conferência de imprensa

23 de julho de 2026

O presidente da AEW, Tony Khan, abordou a situação de vários lutadores durante uma conferência de imprensa antes do pay-per-view Redemption em 23 de julho de 2026. Ele esclareceu rumores sobre Sammy Guevara e confirmou que atenderá ao pedido de demissão de Tay Melo. Khan também forneceu atualizações sobre MJF e Anna Jay.

Tony Khan afirmou que Sammy Guevara permanece na empresa e que sua biografia nas redes sociais nunca incluiu a AEW. Ele mencionou ter recebido uma mensagem de Guevara e o defendeu contra críticas online.

Khan confirmou que Tay Melo solicitou sua rescisão após o episódio de 6 de junho de 2026 do AEW Collision. Ele declarou que atenderá ao pedido e enfatizou que o mesmo não foi feito em 2025.

Sobre MJF, Khan disse que o ex-campeão tem lidado com lesões, mas espera-se que ele retorne em breve sem problemas de longo prazo. Ele acrescentou que Anna Jay renovou seu contrato e está atualmente afastada devido a uma lesão.
