While Tony Khan is often seen as the driving force behind All Elite Wrestling’s creative direction, recent reports indicate that he receives assistance from various individuals in shaping the company’s shows.
Notable names such as QT Marshall, Jerry Lynn, Pat Buck, and Will Washington have been reported to be involved in the creative process. However, it appears that AEW talent themselves are also contributing their ideas behind the scenes.
As AEW prepares for the premiere of AEW Collision on June 17, it has been revealed that Bryan Danielson is not the only active talent lending a hand creatively. PWInsider‘s latest report states that Dax Harwood of FTR has also been actively involved in pitching creative ideas.
Having performers actively contribute to the creative discussions ensures that storylines and character development align with the performers’ visions and strengths. It also allows for a more diverse range of perspectives and ideas to shape AEW’s programming, ultimately leading to a more engaging and immersive experience for the audience.
While Tony Khan continues to be the driving force and final decision-maker, his willingness to incorporate input from various sources, including talented individuals within his own roster, speaks to his commitment to delivering the best possible product.
As AEW Collision approaches, fans eagerly anticipate the debut of the new show and the fresh dynamics it will bring to the AEW landscape.
