Report: AEW Parts Ways With Senior Vice President of Business Development, Partnerships, and Video Games

Changes are being made in AEW.

Alex McCarthy of Wrestling Intel reports All Elite Wrestling has parted way with Nik Sobic, the Senior Vice President of Business Development, Partnerships, and Video Games.

Sobic had been with the company since it was founded in 2019, overseeing operations, live events, and most notably, the development of the AEW Fight Forever game.

Sobic previously worked with Tony Khan as a Director with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fight Forever was released in 2023, receiving mixed reviews from critics. It’s unclear if his departure is related to the video game. AEW told Wrestling Intel they do not comment on personnel decisions.

In June 2023, Sobic stated that if Fight Forever did well, they would invest in a games franchise.

“I’ve worked at AEW and known Tony Khan for the last 10 years. I can pretty much tell you he is one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. I can tell you if this video game does well, we’re going to take those dollars and put that into an AEW video game franchise. Fans speak with their wallets,” said Sobic.

There have been no reported plans of a follow up to the game.

Fightful will provide more information on Sobic’s depature if and when it is known.
