Former WWE cruiserweight champion Tony Nese, who debuted in AEW several years ago, is reportedly working backstage as a coach and agent for the promotion. According to “Fightful Select,” Nese, who joined AEW in 2021 after his WWE release, has been quietly serving as a coach behind the scenes for quite some time. He was recently recognized as an agent during one of the matches on last week’s “AEW Collision.” While Nese has had limited TV appearances alongside his tag team partner Ariya Daivari, he has been more active in AEW’s sister brand, ROH. Similarly, another wrestler, Angelico, who has been with AEW since its inception, has also transitioned into a coaching and producing role, even working on a match during last week’s “collision.”
Fan Take: This development highlights AEW’s commitment to leveraging experienced talent in versatile roles, enhancing the quality of their matches and talent development. For fans, it signals a deeper investment in behind-the-scenes expertise that could lead to more polished, innovative wrestling content in the future.
