As AEW Dynamite and WWE’s NXT are set to lock horns tonight Tony Khan has been amplifying the war of words and rhetoric on social media.
Responding to a report from Haus of Wrestling Khan posted this, essentially calling them “bald assholes”.
I have a message for them:
See you TONIGHT at a special Tuesday Night #AEWDynamite:
Title Fight Tuesday
At 8pm ET/7pm CT on @TBSNetwork
At least the first 30 Minutes Are Commercial-Free, + a big overrun TONIGHT! https://t.co/ZKVQVnlMnf pic.twitter.com/ruuc2k49kD— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) October 10, 2023
In the story, Haus of Wrestling reports that they “spoke with a fired-up WWE source close to NXT this morning who said tonight will be “a very clear example of how and why WWE is WWE, and why AEW has a long way to go.” They discussed how they felt AEW had been lulled into a false sense of reality that they were somehow an industry leader by continuing to beat WWE’s number three brand in viewership. It also sounds as if there are lingering tensions from the infamous Wednesday Night War, with the idea that Tony Khan could have run Dynamite on Thursdays and the two would never have gone head-to-head. With Levesque now squarely back in control of WWE creative and Michaels taking pride in being the best, it was said Khan ‘poked the wrong ones at the wrong time.’ The fact this is all happening on Khan’s 41st birthday was also pointed out to me, with it sounding like WWE NXT is fine spoiling his party.”
Khan, whose birthday is today, also appeared on The Dan Le Batard Show.
“Not talking about a backstage incident would be the least of a wrestling promoter’s misdeeds,” said Khan referencing Vince McMahon. He would later say that people are doing a lot worse things in the “fight game” like the “allegations made against Vince McMahon”.
Khan has also been hyping tonight’s episode of Dynamite.
