Tony Khan Explains Contributions Of Young Bucks And Kenny Omega As EVPs In AEW
When AEW was launched in 2019, Tony Khan was the President, but The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson), Kenny Omega, and Cody Rhodes were named as Executive Vice Presidents.
Their roles as EVPs have been mentioned on AEW TV throughout history, including the Bucks losing their power at AEW All In 2025.
Speaking to Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo on Coach & Bro, Tony Khan was asked about the contributions of the Bucks and Omega as EVPs.
“It’s different in those cases. In Kenny and the Young Bucks case, they’ve had those titles from the very beginning and they’ve been very involved in different aspects of the company: creating some of our pay-per-view events from the very beginning. We’ve worked together to really put the Elite in All Elite Wrestling. A lot the ideas we had from the very beginning to launch this company came off the back of the work they had done before AEW started. They are very involved today in different aspects. Kenny Omega has been involved in different digital projects for us and the wrestling side. The Young Bucks are a huge part of the wrestling show,” said Khan.
Khan also praised Chris Jericho for his role in the launch of AEW and said he likes to lean on a lot of wrestling experience.
