And yet, five years into the future, it would appear that has changed, as, according to Brian Alvarez on the Wrestling Observer message board, Tony Khan has become far more likely to throw together shows the day of, with performers sometimes flown out with nothing to do, or asked to make a last-minute change to their schedules in order to get to a show last minute

Most people, not just the wrestlers, have no idea what they're doing until the day of the show, and sometimes not until an hour or so before the show. People are flown to towns and given nothing to do, others are begged the day before the show to please get to the town so they can do something last-minute. He knows what he wants to do for PPVs (although this often changes), but as far as week-to-week TV, everything is booked show-to-show,” Brian Alvarez wrote on the message board via Jack Cassidy.
“For most people he's incredibly difficult to get hold of. In some ways, it legitimately is more like 2019 WWE than it is 2019 AEW, where he was much easier to get hold of, he had very complex long-term storytelling, many people had a good idea of what they were doing and where things were going, and often most of the following week's entire Dynamite card was booked and announced before the previous week's Dynamite had even ended (remember when Excalibur would run down two dozen matches in 30 seconds for the following week?). It's night and day the changes, and people who work for the company, in all roles from the wrestlers to the office, talk about it ALL THE TIME.”
