Sarah Stock Exposes What Really Goes Down in AEW’s Backstage Meetings

Sarah Stock just dropped another grenade on AEW—and this time, she’s pulling back the curtain on what she claims is total chaos behind the scenes.

The former AEW coach took to Twitter and accused the company of running live shows without proper production meetings and revealed what allegedly goes down when the clock ticks toward airtime. According to Stock, it’s not just a lack of communication—it’s a full-blown organizational disaster:

“Only a small specialized niche of professionals will understand how disastrous this is, but @AEW doesn’t have production meetings, either. Poor Mansury, pro of pros, trying to get a minimum of 2 live shows each week on the air with next-to-zero information, and a whole roster and staff even more in the dark as 8 pm Wednesday hits.”

She followed that up with an inside look at how the meetings actually play out backstage, name-dropping some of AEW’s biggest stars—and putting the blame squarely on the structure (or lack thereof):

“The meeting: Q-Tip texts the coaches. We’re in TK’s office. In comes Swerve or Mox or Darby or Christian or Jericho or Edge or anybody who believes their time matters more than everyone else’s. That’s how it was 6 months ago. TK spends 45–120 min with each. Coaches go back to their job w no direction, disgusted at what they’re witnessing. Show starts at 8, cross your fingers.”

This comes after Stock’s previous public shots at AEW’s HR department, where she called out Director of Performance Psychology Chris Manzione and HR lead Karen Van Bibber, mocking the system as non-existent.

“Oops, forgot to tag them. It’s @the_real_manzo and I can’t find Karen’s handle; probably disappeared publicly out of embarrassment for her grand flop of a ‘greatest accomplishment’ in @AEW: renaming ‘Human Resources’ to ‘People & Culture’. 🙄😅 You go, girl! Earn that paycheck!

So no, @AEW does not have an HR department.”

While AEW has not issued an official statement responding to these claims, Stock’s posts have led to a ton of fans questioning the infrastructure of Tony Khan’s promotion. Whether you believe this is a bitter ex-employee venting or a whistleblower telling the truth, one thing’s certain—Sarah Stock is naming names, and she’s not afraid of the fallout.
