Tony Khan Burns Twitter To The Ground: Goes After WWE, Eric Bischoff

AEW

Tony Khan had himself one hell of a time on X this Tuesday night, using the platform formerly known as Twitter to throw flames at WWE, Eric Bischoff, and more.

The AEW founder and CEO’s spree began when he called out a perceived double standard in commentary on AEW’s World Championship booking vs. WWE. This came following Monday’s Raw, which saw Jinder Mahal emerge as a surprising contender for Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Title.

Khan posted:

Mahal’s last televised win came on the 10 January 2023 episode of NXT.

The flames grew higher as Khan quote-tweeted USA Network, who’d taken a jab at Tony previously referencing Cagematch.net’s rating systems as a way of gauging fan feedback. Khan contrasted USA’s “moral victory” with Jinder’s lack of success in the ring, again criticising WWE’s booking:

When former WCW chief and regular AEW critic Eric Bischoff hit Khan with a clown emoji, TK replied:

His night then ended with a thorough deconstruction of some ill-informed criticism of AEW’s recent booking of Abadon:

And thus concluded Tony Khan’s big night on X.

Khan’s social media activity drew mixed responses in the professional wrestling space, as it always does. Nonetheless, with well over 10 million cumulative views across his posts, Khan objectively succeeded in drawing attention towards him, AEW, and this Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite – whether this was his goal or not.

AEW returns to Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL for this Wednesday’s Dynamite, which is branded a ‘Homecoming’ special. Eric Bischoff will presumably be watching from home, loading up on bad-faith takes to perpetuate his grift.
