AEW does jump around a lot. I appreciate them always trying to stay fresh...but I do think Tony needs someone to help him have better follow thru...
Ex:
Why did it take until this week for Jungle Express to win a big tag match
When was Darby's last big victory
When was Sammy's last big victory
Where is Abaddon
Where is Ricky Starks
What happened to Scorpio Sky, he's disappeared post Jericho feud
etc...

At least in regards to Starks and Sky, Starks wrestled on this week's episode of Dark while Sky has been mostly hanging around in Dark in recently weeks.
When they were running those series of vignettes on Sky a while ago, it did feel like they had some big plans for him but whatever it was got delayed because of the coronavirus or some other reason.
If the outside stuff involving Darby ends up tanking his chances of taking the TNT belt off of Cody, Sky would be a very good replacement since they've been slowly building up his profile on Dark in recent weeks.
AEW doesn't really need the type of writer WWE chews up on a regular basis since the stuff they are doing is pretty basic story-wise but wouldn't hurt at all to get like a managing editor on board to tighten up their creative work. Some of WWE's greatest success during the Attitude Era wasn't from writing but via the use of storyboards to keep everything in check.
