AEW boss Tony Khan has had his ups and downs with the pro wrestling fan base. Still, Khan has stayed defiant when it comes to his activities in AEW and beyond. After losing the recent Tuesday Night War, Khan has been posting on social media regularly taking subtle and not-so-subtle digs at WWE. But his social media posts may irked some people inside his own promotion.

Khan has not been the one to shy away from sharing his opinions on WWE. This has often brought him into the firing line of the WWE faithful, but it seems his antics now have caused issues within in the AEW camp.

Fans taking shots at Khan have been a pretty common instance, but his own people criticizing him for demolishing the company’s goodwill is somehow a rare deal.

Social media is currently set ablaze with the viral ‘Bald A**holes’ comment by Khan apparently aimed at Triple H and Shawn Michaels. He didn’t stop there. The AEW head honcho kept the air of animosity intact with back-to-back shots at Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon.

Still having some more shade to sling, Khan called out John Cena and The Undertaker. He took aim at them for coming short of garnering one million plus viewers on NXT. All of these seemingly promoted the majority of the AEW insiders turning on him.

A recent backstage report suggested that his own employees want Khan to throw his phone away and refrain from showing up on social media.

They view Khan’s blunt comments as a barrier to their tireless effort to maintain a good image of the company. They may have been left dumbstruck by what Khan commented about two of the WWE legends in his latest tweet.
