Tony Khan is turning a messy TNA incident into a win for AEW.
After longtime Florida wrestling fan Jacob Cohen was kicked out of a recent TNA taping under murky circumstances, the AEW and ROH boss stepped up with an open invitation. Taking to X/Twitter Khan reached out directly to Cohen and said:
That message came just hours after Cohen detailed his abrupt ejection from TNAs November 15 taping at Full Sail University in Orlando. Cohen, known for regularly attending and live-posting from events across WWE, AEW, and TNA, said he was removed after being wrongly accused of recording the show.
According to Cohen, he cooperated with staff and demonstrated that he wasnt filming. But despite that, security asked him to leave and denied him further explanation or conversation. Making matters worse, he later revealed that he wasnt going to receive a refund.
While TNA has yet to issue any public comment, the situation has raised serious questions about how theyre handling longtime fansespecially someone like Cohen, whos been a fixture at wrestling events for years and has helped bring attention to promotions by sharing results and reactions online.
Cohen also posted photos from the taping, and while TNA didnt say those were part of the issue, its possible that his reputation for posting spoilers may have factored in. Promotions like WWE typically announce a no-filming policy before shows, but it remains unclear if TNA issued any warnings at this particular event.
Regardless, denying a refund and removing a paying fan over what appears to be a gray area has sparked pushback onlineand thats where Tony Khan stepped in to offer a lifeline. Khans public support not only scores points with fans who feel Cohen was treated unfairly, but also reinforces AEWs fan-friendly image at a time when TNA is struggling to solidify its audience heading into 2026.
TNA had high hopes for this stretch of Orlando tapings to end the year strongbut between angry fans and bad PR, that mission just got more complicated.
Do you think Tony Khan stepping in was the right move? Should TNA issue a refund and apology to Jacob Cohen? Let us know what you think in the comments.
