During the media scrum after Fyter Fest, AEW President Tony Khan said that the chair was actually “gimmicked”, but something went wrong. Khan answered question regarding the protocol for such an injury, as seen in the video below.
“We called a doctor immediately,” Khan said. “Obviously really regrettable what happened. I don’t know if this is the time to go into detail about what happened but we had taken precautions in this situation and that specific situation. A doctor was available and Cody does not have a concussion and had staples and we’re all very grateful for that.”
