The WWE Hall of Famer believes that the problems can be fixed in time. He said (H/T 411 Mania):

"So I think that everything people saw can be fixed. I’m as excited about this brand as I’ve ever been. I know we’re gonna be just fine. I truly believe that, Conrad. It’s not just me bulls**ting. I’m 67 years old with a three-year contract. You do the math. I’m on the back nine, baby. And I ain’t planning on going out the back nine less than what I want. And what I feel, what I need. So we’re gonna be fine. It’s gonna take some time. So the question is, how much time? I don’t know."

Ross also said that the company will be fine in the long run but will have to deal with several new talents coming in. He explained:

"New talents coming in. But it’s a hard act to balance to keep your incumbents so to speak over, while getting other talents over. So it’s a hell of a deal. But we’ll be fine, I really believe that. And I was embarrassed to see what I saw. Did I like it? Hell no, I didn’t like it. Who could like it? For God’s sake. So I’ll just admit to all of you."

Ross is very forthright in his criticism of the segment. In a sense, he's quite right that AEW is a new promotion and are constantly on a learning curve to fix the problems on hand.
