AEW Dynamite’s Special Episode Puts Charity at the Forefront
Tony Khan, the president of AEW, has once again demonstrated his commitment to philanthropy. Following the recent episode of AEW Dynamite, which featured the Texas Chainsaw Massacre death match between Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy, Khan announced a significant charitable gesture. This match, sponsored by the Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game, was not just a spectacle for wrestling fans but also a means to support a noble cause.
Khan took to social media to declare that all proceeds AEW received from the game’s sponsorship would be directed to the Maui Food Bank. This decision comes in the wake of devastating wildfires in Maui, emphasizing AEW’s dedication to community support. The episode, which underwent several changes to align with the “Fight for the Fallen” theme, aimed to generate maximum funds for the charity.
Khan’s tweets further highlighted the urgency of the situation, noting that while the Texas Chain Saw Massacre tie-in had been pre-planned, the immediate need was to support the Maui Food Bank. This gesture underscores AEW’s ethos of blending entertainment with social responsibility.
All proceeds we receive for tonight's @TXChainSawGame DeathMatch will be donated to @MauiFoodBank!
We made lots of changes to #AEWDynamite tonight to make tonight's episode #FightForTheFallen including the @TXChainSawGame to help the charity.
Donate now!https://t.co/DbkjX0YDgs
