10 Signs AEW Could Be In Trouble Right Now

1. Communication Breakdown

While each and every potentially hazardous sign alluded to throughout this list can still be sorted out by AEW before sh*t irredeemably collides with the fan, perhaps the problem that needs to be resolved quickest comes in the form of the increasingly prevalent grievance of "lack of communication" when it comes to Tony Khan and his ever-growing list of talent.

Among the stars of AEW past and present to have expressed these concerns recently are former ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham, Marko Stunt, Brian Cage, and Joey Janela, with Gresham in particular being pushed to reportedly requesting his release on the back of communication troubles and frustrations with the ROH/AEW President.

The fact these complaints are popping up more frequently as of late suggests the company needs to address and reevaluate its talent relations department and process of communication before more disgruntled stars lead to a potentially toxic workplace.

Long seen as the progressive alternative to a WWE system that has often been lambasted for its inability to transparently communicate with its wrestlers, how Khan takes these recent issues on board and adapts his team's way of working accordingly could very much set the tone for his wrestling empire going forward.
