Tony Khan has listed the AEW stars who have stepped up post-All Out backstage fight.
Following AEW All Out 2022, CM Punk went on a verbal tirade directed at Colt Cabana, Hangman Page and the EVPs, The Elite.
Punk, Ace Steel, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks got into a backstage fight following this and were subsequently suspended pending an investigation.
In the weeks since then, several AEW stars have had to fill the void for those competitors.
In a new interview with Steven Muehlhausen of DAZN, AEW President Tony Khan discussed tonight’s AEW Dynamite and spoke about the stars who have stepped up to the plate since All Out.
In regards to Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho, he said:
“I think a lot of fans would see they’ve both had an incredible run of matches including against each other at Quake by the Lake in August. Since the Grand Slam tournament champions started, we’ve been on a great run. And I think they’re leaders backstage. And I think Bryan Danielson also is a huge part of this. Moxley and Chris have been here from the very beginning and Bryan stepped in and has been one of the most prominent people on the TV shows. “
Tony Khan continued on to praise Bryan Danielson for being a standout in stepping up, saying:
“So he’s a huge part of it. Backstage, I think they’re all leaders, and have helped us get through this period. Bryan was out for a while and since Bryan came back, it’s been some of the best TV we’ve done. I am grateful that he’s been a big part of it, because it’s been great to have Bryan in the shows.”
“He’s one of the best wrestlers in the world snd he’s also been in some of the best matches this year, including against both the people I just named, against Jon Moxley, and Chris Jericho. Both on screen and off screen, I think they’re just a hugely valuable presence in AEW.”
As previously mentioned, Khan also discussed The Acclaimed and National Scissoring Day on tonight’s Dynamite in another separate interview.
