Several AEW Stars Apparently ‘Pissed’ About Their Booking

Several AEW Stars Apparently ‘Pissed’ About Their Booking AEW

If you’ve paid any attention to the news lately, you’ve probably heard that things aren’t all rainbows and unicorns in AEW at the moment.

There have been hints that people aren’t happy about their booking, some low viewership numbers, and ‘drama’ backstage between different groups of people on the roster.

Well, the latest person to back all of this up is Konnan, who said several AEW stars are “pissed” about their booking during the latest episode of his Keepin’ It 100 podcast.

He explained:

“I’ve said this a million times. I have no qualms about saying it again. I like Tony Khan. I love talking to Tony because he likes all the same things I do, football, college basketball, not a lot of people like college basketball, he does, college football, you know, wrestling. We like the same movies, comedies, he’s got a really good sense of humor. I try not to talk too much to him about his business and I don’t want him to think that I’m trying to angle for a job.

“But I can tell you this, bro. The last few times I’ve been to… I remember one day, and I won’t even say who the wrestler was, a very good friend of mine, I was backstage in AEW. This was probably a year ago and there were a lot of WWE guys coming in, a lot of new people coming in, and it was the first time the originals were being shoved to the side. Because you can imagine how people like Sonny Kiss and Joey Janela and all these other guys that were there at the beginning and you don’t really see much of them anymore are feeling when all these other people are coming in. But that was going to happen. When you get bigger fish, you’re going to use them. He asked me, ‘Is this what WCW was like?’ I go, ‘This is exactly how WCW started to get’, and he was like, ‘Oh (bleep)’.

“Then the last time I was there, bro, you have no idea how many people came up to me and they were pissed about the booking. They weren’t happy how they were being used. They were very, very vocal about it. It’s kind of funny because our boy, I don’t think he gives (bleep), in front of everybody in catering, he came up and he was like, ‘Yeah, thank God Konnan is here. Maybe they’ll use somebody that knows how to book logically.’ I was like, ‘Bro, ixnay that. I’m not here looking for a job’. So yeah, people are starting to talk.”

Obviously people have their opinions of Konnan, but he’s far from the first person to suggest that this kind of unrest is present in the AEW locker room.

It’s been a busy time in AEW recently, with Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, CM Punk and Kenny Omega all making their returns, and MJF reportedly scheduled to make his comeback soon.

As more claims continue to come out about the backstage environment, we’ll have to see whether Tony Khan can maintain control.
