During his All Out media call, Mr. Khan spoke about some of the top guys in the company, appearing on the YouTube shows and working with young independent wrestlers.
Tony Khan then named a few wrestlers like Red Velvet and Powerhouse Hobbs, who caught his eye while they were working on AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation.
Are Dark and Dark: Elevation a developmental platform for Tony Khan?
WWE has an excellent Performance Center that trains and churns out great wrestlers regularly, which AEW doesn’t currently have.
However, what Tony Khan and his team have provided with Dark and Dark: Elevation is that they have a platform to showcase and nurture younger talent. Many of the company’s top stars mix it up with younger or lower-card wrestlers on Monday and Tuesday nights, while midcarders get a chance to maintain their credibility with decent matches and pick up some wins.
The likes of Red Velvet and Varsity Blonds have been heavily featured in title programs, with the former main eventing the premiere episode of AEW Rampage alongside Britt Baker.
Tony Khan has already got some valuable people on board through Dark and Dark: Elevation, and we won’t be surprised to see more in the future.
