Tony Khan addresses AEW releases, says Anthony Henry will return

Tony Khan addressed AEW’s recent talent cuts during today’s ROH Supercard of Honor media call. 

In regards to the releases, Khan said that he needs to keep an eye on the budget so he’s able to continue signing top free agents. He noted that he is expanding the budget overall and plans to be aggressive in going after top talent. 

Anthony Henry was one of the wrestlers released earlier this week. He has been out of action since suffering a broken jaw at a Deadlock Pro Wrestling event last month. Khan specifically addressed Henry’s release and said that after thinking about it, Henry will return to the company once he’s cleared. 

Henry later confirmed the news, writing:

To those who voiced their support for me this week: thank you from the bottom of my heart. I never knew that what I do impacted so many. I’ve never had anyone rally behind me like that. It is an unreal feeling. I love you all. See you soon!

Khan was also asked about Brandan and Brent Tate being released from the company. The Boys had been part of a long-running angle between Johnny TV and Dalton Castle leading to a match at Supercard of Honor. Khan said that the brothers did not show up for work on multiple occasions and he had to make “a tough call.”

The Boys responded to Khan’s comments on X, with Brent saying they are “far from true.”

Supercard of Honor takes place Friday, April 5 at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It will air live on HonorClub.
