He confessed Khan should lay off a little and let the AEW EVPs like Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks, chip in and share a stake in the responsibilities of the company.

“What’s crazy, creative team? No. It’s just Tony. Tony Khan who owns it [AEW] and he does so much anyway already, it’s literally just all him. He’ll have some help or input from other guys and some of the EVPs that you know helped start it like The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes.”

“They kind of help do their own stuff, but Tony pretty much has the final and only say on majority of the entire product which is a little nuts. I do think that it could benefit with some of the people helping out on that,” he said.
