The Founder, President, and CEO of All Elite Wrestling, Tony Khan, has been going on a rampage on social media. In the process of doing so, Khan took a not-so-subtle shot at WWE’s Executive Chairman Vince McMahon.
Tonight is something that is special. After a long time, AEW and WWE are going to go head-to-head in weekly episodic television. AEW Dynamite, called Title Tuesday, is going to air at the same time during NXT.
The AEW President took to Twitter to announce that the first 30 minutes of the show is going to be commercial-free. This move, however, was seemingly a response to NXT announcing they too would be going commercial-free to start the night.
“The first 30 minute of TITLE TUESDAY #AEWDynamite will be commercial-free on @TBSNetwork TOMORROW night! Remember AEW Dynamite is in a special timeslot TOMORROW, one week only Tuesday #AEWDynamite TITLE TUESDAY on TBS!” Tony Khan tweeted.
A fan replied to Khan, claiming that they weren’t going to watch the show. Tony Khan responded with a Roderick Strong “nobody gives a fuck” meme.
Another fan replied by stating that if WWE Executive Chairman Vince McMahon had tweeted the same thing, AEW fans would be crying and accusing him of being unprofessional.
This tweet also caught the eye of Tony Khan. The AEW President decided not to hold back and felt that this was an opportunity for him to take a shot at McMahon. Khan subtly brought up McMahon’s hush money scandals and stated that if he indeed tweeted the same thing Khan did, it would be something that would be less bad than the alleged scandals.
“If Sir Vince McMahon said this, it would be the least of his alleged misdeeds.”
Both Dynamite and NXT are commercial-free for the first 30 minutes.
