Ex WWE Superstar Producing Matches For AEW

AEW has a lot of people backstage who worked in WWE. Now we have word that a former WWE Superstar is also producing matches for the company.

According to a report from Sean Sapp behind Fightful’s paywall, Ariya Daivari is producing matches in AEW. He is respected backstage as Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker vs Thunder Rosa and Toni Storm is one result of his handiwork.

Ariya Daivari is working for All Elite Wrestling in a producer capacity. Specifically, we learned that Daivari helped produce the highly regarded Jamie Hayter & Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs. Thunder Rosa and Toni Storm match on the August 3 episode of Dynamite. Those that we spoke to said that Daivari laid the foundation for the match, and the participants themselves largely put things together.

Daivari was working on a trial basis as a WWE producer for the last several months along with Joe Hennig, but was let go recently. During that same period, he was still making AEW Dark appearances. Daivari had got to the point he was producing WWE matches solo for WWE Main Event.
