Khan has also announced Bryan Danielson vs. Anthony Bowens for tonight's live Rampage episode.

Khan announced the match in response to Bowens and Max Caster of The Acclaimed taunting him over their challenge for a match at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view. Khan said he will never step into the ring.

"While I'll never step into the ring, The Acclaimed have antagonized me personally for months so I've cooked up a fun announcement regarding their status for #AEWRampage LIVE on TNT TONIGHT @ 10pm ET/9pm CT! You called ME a horrible boss? Consider this a wake-up call Anthony & Max," Khan wrote earlier.

He later added, "TONIGHT on #AEWRampage, I'm booking one of the top singles wrestlers in @AEW vs. one of the top tag team wrestlers in #AEW + I must admit I may take some personal satisfaction from this. Am I a horrible boss Anthony? Or are you going to get your f'n head kicked in TONIGHT on TNT?"
