Tony Khan’s comments on WWE’s booking of Jinder Mahal, made on X (formerly known as Twitter) Tuesday afternoon, have caught the attention of one of AEW’s most frequent detractors: former WCW President Eric Bischoff. Bischoff and Khan got into a heated exchange in which Khan defended his own recent booking.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 https://t.co/tmo8TzuBAy

From there, the conversation spun off into fragments, with Bischoff’s replies drawing in the likes of former AEW tag team champion Dax Harwood and wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer. Khan seemed to settle down more quickly, with his last comment appropriately referencing the wrestling database Cagematch — Khan’s initial posts about Mahal were likely fueled by a post from USA Network’s account poking fun at Khan’s known affinity for the site.

The irony. #AEWDynamite
