Tony Khan is not having a good day. Or we could say probably a bad couple of days. He has recently received some backlash from fans for his latest booking. However, he decided not to let anything slide. This time, he decided to rope in WWE, Jinder Mahal, and fans as well. In a long, rant, tweet, he called out WWE, Triple H, and the fans of the sport for their alleged “double standards.”

Tony Khan fires shots at Triple H and WWE

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Khan decided to vent his frustrations due to the double standards of pro wrestling fans. He mentioned that when Hook who had an impressive track record challenged Samoa Joe, fans showed their outrage as they did not favor the booking. But when WWE announced that Jinder Mahal would be challenging Seth Rollins for his Heavyweight Championship title, the same fans have been quiet. He wrote, “Jinder has literally lost every single match he’s in for the past year, immediately gets a title shot, where is the rage.”
