We have seen throughout wrestling history that giving wrestlers creative control is never a good idea, and AEW could potentially be about to make a huge mistake in this regard.

According to Mercedes Mone during an interview with TMZ, she has creative control over her AEW booking:

"I feel like here at AEW, all of my dreams and opportunity is just endless. So, of course, being the TBS champion and this Sunday at Forbidden Door, I'm about to be two-time champion. I'm going to be the TBS champion and the New Japan Strong Champion. So, yes, this little creativity that I have of taking all the belts and going global is beautiful. I mean, because I got this. I think just every single week you got to watch. Yes, I have creative control, but I work with Tony Khan very closely. So it's great. It's a great combo."

Creative control was typically reserved for names such as Hulk Hogan, and in modern wrestling, creative control is virtually obsolete. Whilst certain top names in both WWE and AEW have significant creative influence, ultimately, they don’t have the final say on their creative direction.

Mone is certainly a big name, but Khan giving her creative control is incredibly risky, and hopefully, this doesn’t massively backfire on the AEW President.
