AEW talents' initial reaction to new Dynamite set; former WWE executive signed by Tony Khan behind transformation - Reports
This week's episode of AEW Dynamite featured a brand-new opening sequence and an entrance ramp. Michael Mansury, who joined All Elite Wrestling in December 2022, was reportedly responsible for the arena's notable transformation. The modifications made to the show appear to have been well-received by the talent.
The show saw additional LEDs installed, and a more flush wall-like structure was set up for superstars to exit through instead of the tunnel that it previously had. The show also had a reworked theme along with brand-new and improved on-screen graphics.
Michael Mansury worked for WWE from March 2009 to May 2020 before joining All Elite Wrestling in December 2022 as Senior Vice President and Co-Executive Producer. Mansury also worked with Pat McAfee and other promotions.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select spoke to some of the talent following AEW Dynamite. The people he talked to "seemed to like the visual upgrades."
