AEW Changes, NXT Producers, More Details
Added 2024-10-09 15:10:01 +0000 UTCWe're told that AEW and Tony Khan had been working around the clock for the last couple of weeks across various shows due to the implications and travel changes from the hurricanes that drastically affected their plans. AEW ended up being very happy with Title Tuesday. We're told there were many talent missing shows and last minute changes that the company needed to work around over the last two weeks.
This weekend will be a rarity as Tony Khan isn't expected at the Jacksonville Jaguars game. The Jaguars play in London at 9:30 AM ET.
Tony Khan's AEW media call is Wednesday afternoon.
As we revealed in the Fightful Select discord last week, Penelope Ford was backstage recently getting cleared for her return.
Britt Baker was sidelined with a legit illness and didn't end up traveling out of Florida for them.
Daniel Garcia announced that he was remaining with AEW. He's factored in to significant creative plans moving forward, we're told.
Fightful is scheduled to interview Mark Briscoe this week.

Comments
Regarding Lash and Jakara, are they just doing crossover stuff? Or have they been called up? Rumors about something they did at RAW that weren't in the spoilers PW posted hence rumors for now. And they got the SD tag title match this week. Sounds like crossover but who knows.

2024-10-09 16:29:16 +0000 UTCPlease, Mr. Ricky Starks, please be next. I am going to so disappointed reading too much into Darby Allin's "Absolutely" comment talking about his open challenge at Wrestledream. Ricky or bust! Make Daniel, Ricky, Willow and Hook the next pillars!
