For most wrestling shows on TV, there was always an on-screen authority figure. WWE used to do this with presidents and commissioners, as did WCW. This eventually morphed into the evil-owner routine with Vince McMahon and Erci Bischoff for WWE and WCW respectively. It is still being utilized today in WWE. Cody Rhodes said that won't happen in AEW.

"The big fight feel, you can't just see it on commentary. It has to actually mean something.The really great thing that we're doing, we've only done the 4 shows, so the numbers are low in terms of records and stats, but we're going off those. And we're not going to give you a fake general manager or fake commissioner. It's very obvious who runs the company.If there's a big title match that needs to be made, Tony Khan is going to make that title match. He did it for Jericho and I."

AEW wants to make professional wrestling look and feel as real as possible. It makes sense in the long run and may help establish AEW as a force to be reckoned with heading forward.
