Recall that the guy now heading WWE RAW, who everyone is hailing as the savior of WWE, is Paul Heyman. This is the guy who had a horrifically unsafe scaffold match between New Jack and Vic Grimes in 2000, resulting in blinding and brain damage. This was already a few years after the Mass Transit incident, also involving New Jack.

Just saying, everyone on social media attacking Khan, Cody and Spears for a head chair shot need to relax. Cody's the defacto head and visible face of AEW, and if he planned for a chair shot to the head, then I see nothing wrong with it. Storyline I thought the timing was weird as it kind of came out of nowhere.

Recall that the "Attitude Era" everyone loves had Mick Foley handcuffed taking a series of horrific hard chair shots by Rock with noone stopping the match.

And for those saying it "ruins" kayfabe for Tony and Bucks to talk about how they plan/book and use gimmicks, the post show scrums AEW does aren't kayfabe(well, ok maybe MJF is in kayfabe 24/7) In all his interviews and scrums, Khan openly says everyone knows wrestling is a work. No way you'd ever see WWE do a post PPV scrum, let alone one dropping kayfabe.
