Tony Khan continues to rage on Twitter.
As seen over the past few days, the AEW President has been tweeting almost non-stop to hype Tuesday night’s head-to-to head battle between AEW Dynamite and WWE NXT, a “war” AEW lost in the ratings department by a fairly large margin. WWE NXT brought in 921,000 viewers/0.30 P18-49 rating, while AEW Dynamite drew 609,000 viewers/P18-49 0.26 rating.
After the ratings came out, Khan took to Twitter to thank the fans for supporting the show. He wrote,
“Thank you all who watch @AEWonTV! On any other Wednesday, #AEWDynamite would be on TBS now! Thanks to you AEW wrestlers + staff! We’ve come so far from a startup in a parking lot; we all teamed up to put on a great show last night! I hope that we always keep our challenger spirit.”
Later in the night, a fan on Twitter tagged “TK” and said the difference between himself and Vince McMahon is that Vince has the power and influence to take cheap shots. The fan wrote,
“The difference is that Vince has the power and influence to take them cheap shots. He’s earned the right to make them. Tony Khan is Vince if you order him from Temu. You can “shop like a billionaire” but you’ll get the cheapest tat doing so!”
Tony Khan quickly clapped back, writing,
“Yes. Vince has allegedly used his power and influence to shoot a lot of shots.”
Yikes.
Yes. Vince has allegedly used his power and influence to shoot a lot of shots. https://t.co/8E9vHeS3rF
