Tony Khan will be forced to make a massive new introduction to ensure AEW's survival, says WWE Hall of Famer

A WWE Hall of Famer recently slammed Tony Khan for the creative direction of AEW and claimed that Khan will be forced to introduce a new creative system. The name in question is none other than Eric Bischoff.

Easy E is often seen slamming the AEW product and Tony Khan due to the lack of creativity in storylines. The veteran recently spoke about a major change Khan could bring in the promotion to potentially save it from disaster. Khan has surrounded himself with great minds in the All Elite Wrestling Creative team like Dean Malenko, Jimmy Jacobs, Jeff Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt, and more.

On X/Twitter, Eric Bischoff claimed that Tony Khan will be forced to introduce a new creative process system in the Jacksonville-based promotion. He also spoke about how the WBD deal will only buy the company some time before the ratings start to decline again.

"It is to the point where @TonyKhan will be forced to put a new creative system/process in place in order to survive. A renewal with WBD will only buy them time. The product will continue its current trajectory losing audience, deteriorating ticket sales, until this issue is resolved. Tony has the resources to accomplish this. The current lip service lauding their current “storylines” is laughable. There is no structure, discipline, or any of the elements of a story that makes it compelling. I really hope Tony comes to this realization. Before it’s too late," Bischoff wrote.

Eric Bischoff on AEW potentially running a stadium show in Australia

AEW has grown every year and is capable of running a stadium show as seen last year in Wembley Stadium for the All In pay-per-view. It was recently reported that the company is looking to hold a major stadium show in Australia.

On his 83 Weeks podcast, former RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff explained why it would not be a great idea. The veteran stated that the cost of running a show from Australia would be exponential.

"I’m not saying it can’t happen, but if you look at the success of Australian promotions, setting WWE aside over the last 20 years, and their dismal failures, it’s just, first of all, you have the cost. The expense is astronomical. This is not like running cities venues here in the States. I would say the costs are essentially going to be not three times as high, but damn close. Somewhere between two, two, and a half, and three times as high." [H/T Ringside News]

AEW recently announced that All In will be coming to Arlington Texas in 2025. It will be interesting to see if the company announces the reported Australia show in the coming months.
