"A lot of people are very frustrated" within AEW at present, per new reports.

This is according to Bryan Alvarez, who made the remark noting the frustration of those being asked to travel to Dynamite on Wednesdays only to find that they have nothing to do He added there was "very little communication" beforehand, that he's been hearing of the same issues "for months" and added in regards to the product at large that "the days of long-term booking are done".

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Live (h/t Cageside Seats), Alvarez fleshed the point out further regarding talent that actively push back Tony Khan's ideas they don't like and the further problems that can cause. He added;

"They show up. [Are told] Here’s what you’re gonna do. Lots of people will complain, and it gets changed...people don’t want to do something and Tony doesn’t make them do it...it’s just a whirlwind of will this person do this? They don’t want to? What can we do? Will you do it?”

AEW Revolution is next up for the challenger brand. March 3rd's pay-per-view will be headlined by Sting & Darby Allin defending the AEW Tag Team Titles against The Young Bucks.
