AEW Owner Tony Khan Is A Twitter Savage

Last Friday WWE decided to extend their Friday night show by a half-hour to compete with AEW’s B show and it backfired. The ratings came out today and it’s kind of an embarrassment for WWE. The most important thing for ratings nowadays is the 18-49 demographic because that is what advertisers look at when paying money to run commercials on those shows. Well, AEW beat WWE for the 30 minutes they were head to head in the demo with AEW having 328,000 to WWE’s 285,000. After these ratings came out, Tony Khan let everyone know about it.

LET’S GO WADE!!!!!!!! I guess that’s why *those* numbers didn’t leak over the weekend!!!!

I’m only estimating but this suggests to me that we probably did pretty well in the yet-to-be-released head-to-head ratings from 10pm-10:30pm, a fight that I didn’t ask for or start, but one for which I was more than willing to show up and in which I was thrilled to participate.

Then the reason for this post….

Here’s a story nobody leaked to you over the weekend but I’ll give you rn, dog: @AEW got a big victory over WWE after WWE aggressively extended their Friday show 30 minutes & loaded it up head-to-head 10-10:30pm vs #AEWRampage, with AEW Rampage winning 328k to 285k (+15% margin).

Tony Khan is very passionate about his business, employees, and most importantly fans and he lets this show every day. He wants to be the best company in the world but for a company like WWE to make statement after statement about AEW not being competitive and then announcing a random 30 minute overrun against that said company is quite the decision. WWE Smackdown beat Rampage in total viewers but losing that demo head to head is going to turn heads at TV networks.

The moral of the story is don’t mess with Tony Khan on Twitter because he’s always ready. Just ask Randy Orton and WWE executive Nick Khan.

I thought you only tagged me in your posts when you were grasping for leverage. That article’s over a year old + is about baseless claims made about my dad years ago. That’s the best you can do, nothing. Meanwhile in the time since that was written, you used the N word on twitch.
