AEW President Tony Khan Claps Back at USA Network’s Trolling
Summary
– Tony Khan, AEW President, used CageMatch stats to highlight AEW’s match quality, sparking online criticism.
– USA Network’s Twitter account trolled Khan, referencing his comments about CageMatch ratings.
– Khan responded sharply, criticizing USA Network and indirectly Jinder Mahal, a wrestler under their banner.
Tony Khan, known for his straightforward and often fiery online presence, recently encountered a verbal tussle with USA Network’s Twitter account. The altercation began when Khan cited CageMatch statistics to emphasize the superior match quality in AEW. This move, however, backfired as it attracted online ridicule, including a jab from USA Network.
The network’s Twitter account cleverly referenced Khan’s CageMatch rating comments in a post. Khan swiftly replied, not one to back down, throwing a sharp barb at USA Network. He pointed out the lack of victories for their world title challenger, Jinder Mahal, in the past year, suggesting a moral victory for USA Network would be to feature Mahal more prominently in their matches.
Khan’s response is a classic example of his no-holds-barred approach to social media interactions, especially when defending AEW. Whether this online spat will impact Jinder Mahal’s booking or remain a heated exchange on Twitter remains to be seen. As always, the wrestling world watches on, entertained by these off-ring battles.
A moral victory for USA is one win more than their World Title challenger Jinder Mahal has in the past 364 days… because it's been literally a full year since he won a match.
You really put AEW in our place getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on your tv show. Do it more often https://t.co/0kpuUsvkm1— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) January 9, 2024
