AEW may pride itself on being a more laid-back alternative to WWE, but when it comes to the locker room, theres still a pecking order in place.
Montel Vontavious Porter broke it all down during the Marking Out podcast, explaining exactly how things work behind the scenes at Tony Khans company. According to him, AEW might not have the strict locker room divisions WWE is known for, but that doesnt mean the top stars dont get special treatment. Porter explained that major names in AEW all have private spaces reserved for them.
Meanwhile, other groups have to share spacebut even then, theres a sense of status attached. Porter revealed how it works for The Hurt Syndicate.
Despite the relaxed atmosphere, Porter admitted that a hierarchy still exists, and he personally respects that.
AEWs structure keeps the locker room culture simple, but top talent still earns private spacea setup that mirrors wrestling tradition, even in a new company. Its clear AEW is carving its own identity while still keeping some of the old-school respect system alive.
What do you think about AEWs locker room structure? Should every wrestler share the same space, or do you think private rooms for top stars are earned? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
