AEW All Out 2022 / CM Punk Fallout

**Evil Vito** · 09-07-2022, 09:02 AM

I don't think any of the 4 EVPs actually wanted to do backstage stuff, they wanted to perform and focus on being on-screen talents. That's their passion. But to get AEW off the ground they felt they all needed to pitch in behind the scenes.

The difference between them is Cody was the only one who actually continued to fulfill his backstage job duties once the company got on TV and started having some success. Because even if he realized it wasn't what he wanted to be doing, it was still the job he signed up for. The other EVPs didn't go to meetings or any of that.

Never sounded like there was a bitter fallout between the parties, more of a quiet distancing and it's easy to see why. I'd distance myself too if I was the only one of the 4 focused on running the company while the other 3 just piss about and do their own thing.

Again, it's fine that all of these guys prefer to perform. Then take the EVP titles away. AEW has outgrown the need to have "the boys" in those positions. Put that title on a full-time staffer.
