All Elite Wrestling/ALL IN 2 - paperwork been filed, in a positive sense. :ohhh:

[DoubleJ13]

From rajah so who knows

Tony Khan, co-owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, is indeed involved as a top executive and as the company's major financial backer. According to a well placed source, Khan is fronting $100 million for the launch of AEW.

Jim Ross, who has repeatedly denied involvement with AEW, will be heavily involved - both on commentary and in a backstage capacity. Ross is likely not commenting on this situation because technically he is still under contract to WWE for a few more months. JR and WWE will not be renewing their contract so you can expect that once he is officially out, his involvement will be publicized.

Sports agent Barry Bloom, who already represents many prolific talent in the industry, is involved from a recruitment perspective. According to our source, AEW will "go hard" at WWE for stars whose deals will be expiring and they will be "mixing in legends" as well. One name that has been brought up is Goldberg, who I believe is already a client of Bloom's. Chris Jericho - who has also been rumored to be connected to this new promotion - is going to be involved "in depth" as well, as per our source. There are other WWE employees/contractors (note, this does not necessarily mean wrestlers) who AEW is going to pursue aggressively when they are legally able to.

It was previously rumored that AEW was working on a national TV deal. As per our sources, Khan is indeed using his connections to work on a prospective TV deal and one of the networks that they are negotiating with is Time Warner to have AEW air on TNT/TBS.

While Cody and the Young Bucks have been announced as EVPs of All Elite Wrestling, we were told that they will focus mainly on wrestling and not necessarily in the creative aspect of the promotion.

Impact ain't making it out of this year (good chance they weren't anyway) if AEW lands on any kind of legit TV, nevermind if they end up on TNT or TBS, when their endin up on outdoor channels no one ever heard of before a couple weeks ago. Impact is going to be the first to get squeezed out before MLW & places like PWG/AAW have to start working overtime to find guys to fill their shows.

That would be wild if they wind up on Turner. Vince is senile enough to probably start demanding more Billionaire Ted skits on RAW

If they dont give him Cena, Brock, Rock level creative control with everything they do, it dont matter

Omega would be miserable in WWE, he can't/won't even work a full NJ tour that has maybe 2 serious matches for the duration. No way he will last in a full time WWE schedule, and even if they give him a sweetheart schedule, his lack of creative freedom will have him miserable within a month for sure.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

According to him he'd welcome the challenge of not being able to have that type of control.

Sportskeedia was saying Omega has an offer of $3.5 million from WWE

They legit might sign him to another deal just to keep Heyman from going over to AEW. Only reason he's around is because of Lesnar.

 

[Max.]

Or kenny signs a small contract with aew to help get them a tv deal n shows up at wrestlemania or the raw after

Its gotta bug kenny if he never goes back to wwe

Aew is basiqlly YB,cody n khans baby
