Jim Cornette wants The Elite to be removed from their positions as EVPs in AEW
According to the former WWE manager, the suspension would not be sufficient punishment for Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks.
Speaking on the Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran explained that they should not be EVPs in the promotion anymore. He also urged AEW to bring in WWE commentator Jim Ross for that position.
"Bring Jim Ross in, put him in charge of talent relations, see who else is mad at who and how it can be fixed. Immediately, regardless whether they ever come back or they f**k off and go away forever, do not let the Executive Vice Presidents be Executive Vice Presidents anymore. No wrestlers with any type of office affiliation."
The Elite were also stripped off their newly-won AEW Trios Championships after the backstage fight.
