AEW has a wide variety of stars from all sorts of backgrounds and skill levels, but its a proven fact that a name holds a lot of weight behind a stars presentation. Interestingly enough, a former AEW talent was responsible for getting AEW to change the name of a new tag team as well.
Earlier this week, AEW had officially named Kommander and Holograms team as The Lucha Stars, which wasnt well received by many at all. This especially included former AEW talent Jose The Assistant, who was very vocal about just how bad it sounded.
AEW eventually changed named Kommander and Holograms team name to Los Titanes del, as they will face Dralistico and Beast Mortos on Collision this week. In response to the change, Jose the Assistant went on Twitter and thanked the company for listening and making the change while also hinting that there were other things he wanted to discuss. He ended his message by referring to himself as an honest friend.
A fan responded to Jose, reminding him that AEW was his most recent workplace and had supported him during difficult times. They advised him to avoid sounding ungrateful, as it wouldnt help if he wanted to return to the company. They ended the message by wishing him luck.
Jose replied to the fan, saying he was thankful for his time in AEW and the life it gave him. He said he wants the company to do well and that having a good product is important. He explained that the tag team name wasnt good, fans agreed, and he was happy they changed it.
AEWs decision to listen to both former talent and fans shows a level of openness that isnt common in major wrestling promotions. Changing the tag teams name so quickly truly shows the companys effort to present its wrestlers in the best way possible and Jose is simply happy he was responsible for this change.
