Tony Khan's X account has 399.7K followers, and every single one of them are well aware that his account could explode at any moment with an unexpected post. The AEW President did not disappoint.

This week during WWE Raw, the official USA Network X account replied to former Wrestling Inc owner Raj Giri, who was acknowledging the history between Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal.



The two former WWE Champions participated in a promo battle on the show and are set to compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship next week on the January 15th episode of RAW.

The response included a question about the Cagematch rating, seemingly taking a dig at AEW President Tony Khan, who often highlights the high Cagematch.net scores that AEW pay-per-views, shows, and matches receive.

The USA Network responded to Giri's post to simply ask: What was the Cagematch rating?" This response blew up within the internet wrestling community, as fans both commended and criticized the account's zero chill remark.

On January 9th, Tony Khan logged onto X, where he laid down a post about double standards. AEW has often been lauded as a "challenger brand," and Khan was not shy about comparing Jinder Mahal's WWE World Heavyweight Title shot to Hook being a logical challenger for Samoa Joe's AEW World Title.

"A double standard: @730hook 28-1 career record, on winning streak calls out the Champ, a logical challenge sparks online outrage Jinder has literally lost every single match he's in for the past year, immediately gets title shot, where is the rage #AEWDynamite TOMORROW on TBS"



Tony Khan was not finished there. He then directed a reply directly at the USA Network's post asking about a Cagematch rating. The AEW President pointed out that Jinder Mahal has gone a full year without winning a match, yet he's getting a big match opportunity.

"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."



Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal replied to Tony Khan's tweets about him and shut down in the situation in true 'Modern Day Maharaja' fashion.

"Who tf is Hook? WATCH MONDAY NIGHT RAW ON USA NETWORK MONDAY 8PM EST!"



Khan is familiar with expressing his thoughts and sparking discussions on social media. Last year, the AEW President shared a retweet, discussing how Shawn Michaels and Triple H aimed to convey a message to him through a loaded-up WWE NXT episode when their shows were in direct competition. He then proceeded to throw down a post where he called the WWE higher-ups "bald *ssholes."

Tony Khan and Eric Bischoff directed some fiery tweets at each other in the aftermath of this situation. Bischoff called Khan a clown via emoji, and Tony replied by channeling the great Joan Collins to tell Bischoff he's a 'miserable has-been.'



A fan posted on X to say, "Tony forgets that he literally gave Abadon a title shot after being off AEW TV for over a year.... the same exact situation as Jinder." Eric Bischoff noticed that post on X, and he replied to ask Tony Khan, "Hey Tony Khan is this true or is it a bot?"

Tony Khan then replied to Eric Bischoff, as he backed up his booking of Abadon.

"No @EBischoff, not true at all. Abadon returned to AEW + then they won a 4 way match on TNT against other great wrestlers to earn a title shot, which is completely different than someone going a full year losing every match they're in + getting a title shot without a single win."

Tony Khan then followed that post up with another which said: "Reading would be your friend, Eric."



Eric Bischoff promptly responded to Tony Khan, addressing AEW's leader while referencing a Dave Meltzer quote.

"Oh kid, my reading comprehension skills are wizard like. By the way, that was one of @davemeltzerWON wicked comebacks whenever he’d get called out on his bs. Coincidence or are you really that deep?"
