Speaking with the Complex Unsanctioned podcast, Mercedes Martinez discussed the creative freedom that she has in AEW and it all comes down to how accessible Tony Khan is.
“I can text him, I can message him whenever I want,” Mercedes said of the AEW President. “If I have ideas or anything, he’s as accessible as he can be.”
Mercedes said that while Khan “is a busy man,” he is usually responsive and available to talent, “that’s a big difference going from WWE to here.”
“He’s the boss, he’s the man, he’s the one that makes the decisions, and the fact that he listens to you and your concerns and whatever you have for creative, [it’s great].” Martinez cited that there are “many moving parts” in the AEW process but Khan being the boss and having an open ear is “a big thing.”
“I love that creative freedom you have to tell your story where you see fit.”
