WWE Immediately Reacted Internally To Tony Khan’s NXT Bashing Posts

WWE has a lot of things going on, and keeping an eye on Tony Khan’s X account is one of the many things that they need to keep track of. After TK’s last string of posts, WWE paid attention.

Tony Khan’s recent social media activity has seen him call WWE higher-ups “bald assholes.” TK took a shot at Shawn Michaels’ booking for NXT. He also had lot to say about Vince McMahon’s controversies. He followed that up by shading The Undertaker and John Cena for not pulling 1 million viewers for the October 10th episode of NXT.

AEW has no approval procedure in place for Tony Khan’s posts on social media. He doesn’t need to get the green light, so those posts are his own.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that people in WWE contacted the outlet “very quickly” after Tony Khan’s post about John Cena and The Undertaker not drawing 1 million viewers.

Khan noted that the “no million” tweet was a response to the endless people who tweet at him every Thursday after the show does usually the top one or two numbers of the previous night, but that’s considered bad because they don’t hit one million viewers. There was also a strategic message in posting in the sense the one million post came at the same time he released the Jay White vs. Penta match for next week, with the idea that the post would lead to more engagement for the announcement of that match. Those in WWE did contact us very quickly after that post with the idea that it was like they saw it as a declaration of war by still discussing the subject. Of course, that declaration really dates back to January 2019.

We will keep an eye on Tony Khan’s X account from this point on. At this point, he is going to keep this up, and the engagement is getting him plenty of attention. Only time will tell if that attention on social media benefits his company in the long run.

We will have more updates on this ongoing story as they are made available, right here at Ringside News. You never know what can happen, and that is especially true whenever Tony Khan logs onto social media.
