According to Fightful Select reports, the appearances from the AEW stars were done without much hassle. WWE pitched the idea and get contacted with All Elite President Tony Khan whether he will be ok with the idea of video appearances.
“We’re told that the situation was very straightforward in making it happen. The idea was pitched, and then AEW founder Tony Khan was contacted in order to see if he’d be okay with it. Given the circumstances surrounding the videos, he was said to be okay with the videos and provided approval. A WWE source told us that they were able to land virtually everyone they hoped to for the ‘congrats’ videos. These instances have been few and far between since AEW launched in 2019,” Fightful reported.
