The competition between WWE and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has heated up a lot over the past week, as the two shows are set to compete head-to-head for 30 minutes with SmackDown and Rampage tonight.
AEW President Tony Khan has been vocal on social media this week, from saying that WWE Raw ‘sucked’, to saying that he ‘couldn’t wait’ to beat SmackDown with Rampage.
Khan took to Twitter, responding to an article about how WWE reportedly view him in a similar way to Ted Turner, by spending lots of money, only for WWE to go out of business.
Khan responded:
I’ve never met Ted Turner. It’s very possible Ted Turner is smarter than me, but he didn’t know 1% of what I know about professional wrestling or WCW would still be on TNT/TBS. @AEW is here to stay, watch #AEWRampage LIVE tonight on TNT or WatchTNT app on your phone or any device
Khan recently said that people want to see competition in wrestling, and they’re going to get a taste of that tonight, with the battling 30 minutes airing commercial free on both sides.
