The neck brace now famously worn by AEW head Tony Khan during NFL Draft weekend will be auctioned off for charity.

Announced on Saturday, NFL Network's Rich Eisen will autograph the brace and then it will be put up for auction by Khan. The proceeds will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital via Eisen's Run Rich Run charity.

According to Eisen, Khan texted him that he would take him up on the offer to sign and auction it for his charity when he no longer needed to wear it.

It's unknown at this point if the auction will go through AEW's charitable foundation or when it will start.

Khan was first seen on national TV Thursday wearing the brace after taking a TK Driver/Meltzer Driver from the Young Bucks on AEW Dynamite the night before, selling the effects of the move.

In subsequent days, Khan has continued to wear it, even during a media interview Friday that got attention due to him comparing WWE to the pro wrestling equivalent of Harvey Weinstein.

An update on Khan's condition will be given on Saturday's episode of Collision.
