Is AEW's ratings drop a sign of deeper issues within Tony Khan's leadership?

Tony Khan is constantly being chastised for a variety of reasons, as the youthful owner of Wrestling Cooperation is still in the learning process. There are several flaws in the product that he creates, and as a result, AEW may not be reaching its full potential. Even a wrestling veteran recently discussed the bad product of the company and criticized Khan for it.

Eric Bischoff is a well-known wrestling icon who is known for giving brutally honest feedback on everything. In a recent YouTube video, the wrestling great discussed the AEW product as well as Tony Khan’s errors. Bischoff shared his perspective on the problem, claiming that AEW is unable to develop a solid plot. Not only is there a good narrative, but AEW is also failing to develop the characters of the wrestling stars, which is why the product does not appear good to date.

Eric Bischoff even praised WWE, noting that they have been creating excellent storylines, which is why they have the advantage against AEW. The wrestling veteran stated, “It’s what I’ve been saying for the last couple of years with regard to AEW focus on story, learn how to tell a story, learn how to develop characters and create them so they don’t all look one dimensional and all kind of look like they were cut out of the same die-cast. WWE is doing it. AEW isn’t. And the success of WWE does not surprise me.”

Even with  Eric Bischoff’s product degradation allegations, Tony Khan appears to have taken his firm to a new level with the WBD transaction.

Tony Khan has cracked the WBD deal

We’re all aware that AEW has been attempting to shift its media house and reach an agreement with WBD for quite some time. This communication has been delayed for months, but the latest theories suggest that it has finally been completed. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling News Observer has stated that the two businesses have signed the contract and will make an announcement shortly.

Until the announcement, the agreement is expected to remain unfinished since, even if the reports are correct, there is still a possibility of cancellation. Furthermore, there will be adjustments to the AEW that will take effect shortly because the contract was speculated to be signed under certain circumstances. Only time will tell how Tony Khan was able to complete the transaction and what changes would occur inside the organization.
