The Elite members have been the promotion’s EVPs since 2019. Their corporate position has recently been on the hot seat after they got involved in a reported backstage scuffle with CM Punk following All Out 2022.
Since then, the trio has been criticized for their conduct amidst the controversy. In a recent episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette noted that the company should strip them of their executive status once The Elite returns from their suspension.
The WWE veteran also suggested that AEW management appoint Jim Ross as the head of talent relations. Ross once held the said role in WWE during the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. Today in AEW, he is a talent relations executive as Christopher Daniels is the current head.

During the same episode, Jim Cornette opined that William Regal should also be called up to guide the AEW locker room and talent, along with Jim Ross.
Regal is a former general manager of WWE NXT and the Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting.
Tony Schiavone has seemingly been appointed as the new “right-hand man” for Tony Khan. Fans will have to wait and see if the promotion’s management will undergo significant changes in the coming months.
Do you think AEW should dismiss The Elite as EVPs and hire Jim Ross as head of talent relations instead? Sound off in the comments section below.
