A significant shift has occurred behind the scenes in the management of elite wrestling. A recent report reveals that AEW President Tony Khan has adopted a more conventional approach to show preparation by introducing formal group production meetings.
Bryan Alvarez from F4Wonline.com noted that AEW has been conducting actual production meetings for some time now, with Khan bringing together top agents, announcers, and others to collaboratively review plans before the show. This marks a departure from Khan’s earlier approach, which involved holding multiple individual meetings throughout the day.
Alvarez described Khan’s old style as a series of one-on-one sessions, where Khan would move from one meeting to another rather than gathering everyone in one room. The new, more traditional format reflects AEW’s ongoing growth and adaptation as it navigates an intense global schedule. The company is preparing for three major international pay-per-view events: the banned door event in London on August 24th, a newly announced event called Lesdream in Toronto on September 20th, and another show in St. Louis on October 18th.
Fan Take: This change signals AEW’s commitment to improving coordination and professionalism behind the scenes, which could lead to smoother, higher-quality productions. For fans, it means a potentially better viewing experience and a stronger, more organized presence on the global wrestling stage.
