Tony Khan
Antony Rafiq Khan (born October 10, 1982) is an American businessman, sports executive, and professional wrestling promoter. He is best known as the founder, owner, president, chief executive officer, executive producer, and head booker of All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He is also the owner of Ring of Honor (ROH), which he purchased and turned into AEW's sister promotion.
Khan is the son of Pakistani and American businessman Shahid Khan, the owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars and English Premier League team Fulham FC. He holds executive roles at both organizations, being chief football strategy officer with the Jaguars and vice-chairman and director of football operations with Fulham. His other business ventures include TruMedia Networks and Activist Artists Management.
Antony Rafiq Khan was born in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, on October 10, 1982, the son of a Pakistani businessman father Shahid Khan and American mother Ann Carlson. He has a sister named Shanna. His father became a billionaire in the automotive industry through his ownership of Flex-N-Gate, which supplied car bumpers.
According to Khan, he has been a member of the Internet Wrestling Community (IWC) since 12 via AOL. He graduated from the University Laboratory High School in 2001 and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance. Khan is a Christian.
Khan joined the Jacksonville Jaguars in July 2012, following his father's purchase of the team, and currently serves as Senior President of Football and Analytics. Khan's most prominent role within the Jaguars is scouting undrafted free agents; a short 2024 NFL Films feature followed Khan handling both his scouting responsibilities during that year's NFL draft and his responsibilities overseeing a live broadcast of All Elite Wrestling's Collision, over the span of 24 hours.
In April 2020, Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue referred to Khan as "spoiled", after a confrontation on Twitter. In August 2020, Ngakoue was traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
On February 22, 2017, Khan was named as vice-chairman and director of football operations of Fulham. He oversees the identification, evaluation, recruitment, general maintenance and signing of players for Fulham. Khan assumed these responsibilities following a period of advising the football operations at the club, particularly in the areas of analytics and research. Although Khan was not able to have an immediate effect (as it was after the January transfer window), Fulham only lost twice and went on a run that saw them finish the season in sixth place, where they were defeated in the play-off semi-final to Reading.
Khan's first full season as vice-chairman, saw the breakout of youth product Ryan Sessegnon as well as the mid-season loan signing of Aleksandar Mitrović amongst the goals, as Fulham earned promotion to the Premier League by defeating Aston Villa in the play-off final, of which he was present. In the 2018–19 season, Fulham brought in a number of expensive signings, headlined by the permanent signing of Mitrović from Newcastle United and Jean Michaël Seri from Nice. By January 2019, Fulham were stuck in the relegation zone, despite having sacked Slaviša Jokanović and replacing him with Claudio Ranieri. Around this time, Khan was criticised for telling a supporter of the club to "go to hell", although he claimed that this person had previously hounded him before. After Ranieri's departure, BBC Radio 5 Live pundits Ian Wright and Chris Sutton questioned Khan's capability in the job, with Wright even suggesting that Shahid Khan should sack his son. Fulham ended the season in 19th place, resulting in the second relegation under Shahid Khan's ownership.
