In the world of professional wrestling, the rivalry between WWE and AEW continues to be stoked both in and out of the ring. With Tony Khan’s recent string of candid posts on social media, WWE has been keenly keeping a watchful eye on the AEW President’s online activity.
Khan’s unreserved and direct social media presence has not shied away from criticizing WWE’s senior executives, calling them “bald assholes.” In addition, he offered a distinct viewpoint on Shawn Michaels‘ NXT booking choices. He didn’t hold back while talking about Vince McMahon’s scandals, and it was only the start of his outspoken internet criticism.
A noteworthy moment was Khan’s subtle jab at wrestling legends The Undertaker and John Cena for not achieving a viewership milestone during the October 10th episode of NXT. AEW operates without any official approval process for Tony Khan’s posts on social media, allowing him to express his opinions without constraint.
This week, 2 active decades-long ratings streaks from 2 great legends were ended
With all due respect, until this week's head-to-head AEW on TBS vs WWE on USA, neither John Cena nor Undertaker had ever been on a WWE show with under 1 million total viewers + under 400k in the demo— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) October 12, 2023
WWE reacted quickly to Khan’s tweet on the popularity of John Cena and The Undertaker. People from WWE contacted the site, expressing their reaction, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. They believed that talking about this issue was intentionally provocative and read Khan’s tweet as a declaration of war. In actuality, this continuous conflict dates all the way back to January 2019.
