Fans are not too pleased with AEW bringing in Mike Tyson

Despite hanging his boxing gloves a long time ago, Mike Tyson is still a popular figure and draws attention wherever he shows up. AEW roped him in for an appearance at the Double or Nothing PPV in 2020, where he presented the TNT Championship to Cody Rhodes.

A few days later, he would also confront his old WWE nemesis, Chris Jericho, on Dynamite. In 2021, on an episode of Dynamite, he rushed to the aid of Jericho against The Pinnacle. The next week, he was the special guest enforcer for a match between Jericho and Dax Harwood.

“More Than He Can Chew”: WWE Legend Advises Jake Paul Against Calling Out Mike Tyson

The former boxing Heavyweight Champion made his return to AEW this week on Rampage. He took a seat in the commentary booth as a special guest commentator for the show. However, fans had an indifferent reaction to Tyson appearing on AEW TV, especially after his recent health scare.

The fans also criticized AEW for this move.

Moreover, some fans clearly didn’t want Mike Tyson on commentary at all.

It is pertinent to note that a couple of months ago, Tyson was spotted in ailing health condition at the Miami airport. Fans saw the boxing legend needing a wheelchair for support. It was later revealed that Tyson had a sciatica flare up in his lower back, which left him temporarily paralyzed. Maybe that is why a lot of fans had apprehensions about him appearing in a wrestling promotion once again.

However, he is in much better condition as he revealed in an interview to Piers Morgan a few weeks ago. What do you think of Mike Tyson’s latest AEW appearance?
