Details From AEW Talent Meeting From 8/24 Dynamite Tapings

Some things were addressed in Cleveland

Fighful Select has learned that there was a mandatory talent meeting at the All Elite Wrestling Dynamite tapings on August 24.

Though the meeting is for talent, there are plenty of talent who weren’t brought in for this set of tapings and won’t be at the show. Fightful Select has learned some details about the talent meeting.

We were told the meeting took place between 3 and 4 PM eastern, and that Tony Khan was “fired up” for it. Several topics were tackled, including working as a team, the lines of communication, and who the talent can talk to if they have concerns. The access to Tony Khan was also addressed, as the rumors of miscommunication and lack of access to him had emerged. Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were said to have made it clear that their door is always open, and that they can be reached for concerns as well. Talent were briefed via email recently about several of the new coaches and talent relations promotions.

In addition, we’ve learned that Chris Jericho and Tony Schiavone spoke at the meeting. Schiavone has been tasked with some additional talent relations roles.

We’ve also heard that the contract tampering an inquiry rumors were addressed, and it was noted that AEW’s Chief Legal Officer sent a message/e-mail to WWE — specifically Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon — about contract tampering allegations.
