Rumor killer on alleged backstage incident at AEW All Out 2024

AEW All Out 2024 is now in the history books, however, the show reportedly had a backstage incident which was noted by many fans. Some recent reports have shed light on the issue.

The show took place from NOW Arena in Chicago and a fan in attendance revealed that he saw security personnel marching towards the backstage area during the Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale Street Fight. The report from the fan led to some speculation about a potential incident occurring as AEW All Out has proven to be the company's most controversial PPV, dating back to the infamous Brawl Out incident in 2022.

However, Fightful Select's Sean Ross Sapp provided an update on the matter as he revealed that an argument went down between the production team of AEW. He further clarified that the issue was resolved and called it 'A big nothingburger.'

Tony Khan will give up his creative position in AEW soon, feels Eric Bischoff

Tony Khan is the President and Head of Creative of All Elite Wrestling. However, Eric Bischoff believes a major change is coming in the future. All Elite Wrestling recently signed Jen Pepperman, who had previously worked for WWE and had a huge hand in Mercedes Mone's creative direction in the Stamford-based promotion.

In a recent edition of his 83 Weeks podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff claimed it was just a matter of time before Tony Khan handed over creative reins to Jen Pepperman. Bischoff explained how he would groom Jen for the creative role if he were in Tony Khan's shoes.

"It's just a matter of time before Tony is going to have to make a change. He's got unlimited financial resources. That's a big part of it. But he's got the human resources right there under his nose - Jen Pepperman. If he gets that renewal, and it's the same product that continues to lose [its] audience, it's just a matter of time. He's got Jen. If I was Tony, I would sit down with Jen Pepperman today, before the sun goes down, and say, 'Jen, I want you to build the new AEW creative system.'" [H/T - WrestlingInc.]

Tony Khan has acknowledged that someday he will have to step down from his role as the creative head. It will be interesting to see who takes over Khan's position when the time comes.
