Former AEW coach Sarah Stock is firing off another round of serious accusations against the company — this time claiming AEW dismantled its mental health support system.
Stock took to Twitter on March 15, 2026, where she accused AEW leadership of eliminating the company’s mental health department and criticized several individuals she claims were involved in the situation. In the post, Stock directly called out AEW President Tony Khan and alleged that the company removed its mental health program entirely.
“Absolutely deplorable what @TonyKhan and @aew did to their mental health department, and to anyone who asked questions about it.”
Stock also suggested that certain people inside the company were rewarded after the program was allegedly shut down. Her comments specifically targeted Director of Performance Psychology Chris Manzione, accusing him of mishandling confidential issues and lacking the proper qualifications for the role.
“It’s almost as though somebody (Kosha & Manzione) got rewarded for eliminating the program: big bonus at the expense of talent’s well-being. Nobody talks to Manzione anyway, knowing he uses private issues as gossip fodder.”
Stock went further by questioning how someone without medical training could be responsible for a company-wide mental health program. She also accused Manzione of avoiding accountability when questions about the program were raised.
“That’s what you get when you put someone with no medical training or qualifications in charge of the crisis management, intervention, and medication protocol of an entire company. Manzione when asked questions (hiding under Karen from Not-HR’s skirt): 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫”
Stock concluded by claiming the person responsible for the program lacked the knowledge needed to properly administer mental health care for talent: “He can’t answer your questions because he has no clue how to administer mental health care.”
Stock worked in AEW for roughly two years before departing in April 2025, though the exact reason for her exit was never publicly confirmed. At the time, reports indicated that she may have raised concerns internally about the company’s mental health program and structural changes to the department.
Her latest comments follow earlier accusations she made in December 2025 about alleged backstage disorganization within AEW production meetings. As of now, AEW has not publicly responded to Stock’s latest claims.
