Details regarding what was said during “mandatory” backstage meeting prior to AEW Dynamite

As previously noted, there is reportedly “a ton of backstage drama” among top stars in AEW.

According to Fightful Select, AEW held a “mandatory” meeting prior to the August 24th 2022 edition of AEW Dynamite which AEW President Tony Khan was said to be “fired up” about. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted that Khan discussed the company’s expansion of the talent relations and development team. Fightful stated the following…

“The access to Tony Khan was also addressed, as the rumors of miscommunication and lack of access to him had emerged. Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were said to have made it clear that their door is always open, and that they can be reached for concerns as well.”

Johnson had additional details about what Khan said…

“Khan also made it clear that AEW was in an industry ‘that has long been dominated by WWE’, and that he had put everything into it to make things better for the talents. Khan also stated that right before the meeting took place, AEW’s Megha Parekh, the Chief Legal Officer for the company, who is effectively the #2 in the promotion’s hierarchy, sent an email to WWE’s Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon warning them ‘not to tamper’ with his talent.”
