It’s no secret that Tony Khan is heavily involved with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars on top of leading All Elite Wrestling. The new coach of the Jaguars, Urban Meyer, made an appearance during a backstage portion of the Stadium Stampede match last month at Double or Nothing. Khan recently talked about this on ‘Pardon My Take.’
Tony Khan said, “He’s my friend. We were at work and sometimes the crossing over. I was in his office and we were looking at the roster and he was packing up. I said, ‘Would you do me a favor tomorrow?’ ‘Sure, what is it?’ I told him what it was, to appear in Stadium Stampede.”
Khan continued, talking about how he pitched the idea to Urban. Khan said, “I told him ‘It’ll be like, you and Charlie are working in your office late on Sunday night. Charlie is a huge wrestling fan, so he’ll get a huge kick out of it. Chris Jericho and MJF are going to brawl through your office while you’re working. We’ll improve a great scene.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, sure.’ Urban is the best. Urban and Charlie were happy to do it. It was a fun crossing over of the two things.”
