A wrestling match is going to break out at the Jacksonville Jaguars home opener on Sunday, September 15. AEW President Tony Khan, who is also the Senior Vice President of football and technology of the Jaguars, the team owned by the Khan family, has booked a match on the field ahead of the game to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
