The landscape of pro-wrestling changed big-time on the New Year’s Eve. It got acquainted with a new company named All Elite Wrestling. Jacksonville Jaguars’ owner Toni Khan is the owner cum president of the company. He got three top names by his side to run the show. Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks are partners with him in this venture.
This is a huge announcement from a brand war perspective. Toni Khan is a billionaire himself who can give tough competition to another billionaire like Vince McMahon. Rumors are all around the internet suggesting that All Elite Wrestling can turn out to be a huge competition for the WWE in due course. It has all the potential to do so.
We have previously reported that the new promotions are targeting WWE superstars to fill up their roster. Two major stars were on their list. One of them has already signed during the All Elite Wrestling rally. He is none other than Chris Jericho who always maintained cordial relation with Toni Khan.

Some more WWE names can follow his footsteps. There has been an added option for them to work outside the biggest pro-wrestling promotion of the world. So how do they fell about All Elite Wrestling taking things over since it provides WWE Superstars with an opportunity to jump ship? We have got to know the minds of a few with names being undisclosed.
Fightful.com reported that they tried to read the minds of some WWE superstars. Most of them denied making any comments in the fear of backstage backlash. Also, they were not willing to throw blind opinions, for now. This is a natural reaction since we know the company and its ethics for just a few days.
For those who answered the question seemed positive about All Elite Wrestling would be a place to worth working. This will create a good workplace option outside WWE. But their business model is yet to be official. Additionally, stillrealtous.com reported the following,
“There are said to be some wrestlers in WWE who have known about the company since September. Those who are most familiar with AEW seem to think it’s a legitimate venture that has a shot at making it due to how in tune with wrestling the key players are.”
The feeling is that companies like Impact Wrestling or Lucha Underground will take most of the hits from All Elite Wrestling debut. Their glorifying days have already faded away and might continue to go in the same negative direction with AEW’s arrival.
