Backstage News
- Several talent were flown in on short notice for the Jay Briscoe tribute show.
- Summer Rae was backstage at AEW Dynamite.
- This show happened largely as planned, despite the tragedy of Jay Briscoe's passing.
- We were told that "Tony Khan did all he could for Jay Briscoe" at the show, and it seemed his hands were tied in that.
- Fightful will be delivering physical Awards to the winners next week. We were set to have some acceptance speeches filmed at this show, but understandably considering the circumstances that wasn't appropriate Wednesday.

There are millions of dollars involved as well as people analyzing social media engagement … they would have noticed

2023-01-20 18:24:18 +0000 UTCAEW is still a fairly young company. TK wants to keep Warner Bros Discovery happy in the meantime, even while WBD is making controversial and questionable decisions. VKM can get away with it because he's been doing this for decades. Hell, look at what he's doing NOW with wanting to sell WWE.

2023-01-20 18:12:59 +0000 UTCI wish TK would've just done a proper tribute on Dynamite and ask for forgiveness after the fact. I suspect he will regret not moving forward with it. I'm not a fan of VKM, but I think we all know what he would've done in the same situation.
