Tony Khan and AEW seem to make all the noise in the wrestling world right now. AEW’s recent rise to popularity is becoming more of a worry for WWE with time. Tony Khan has not only challenged WWE’s monopoly in recent times, but he has also been firing shots at WWE.
Obviously, this didn’t go well with the current and former WWE Superstars. Even some WWE Hall of Famers reacted to this. One of them was Booker T. He recently revealed his thoughts about this situation in The Hall of Fame Podcast.

While talking in The Hall of Fame with Booker T & Brad Gilmore podcast, he said, “Calling out WWE on a regular basis, talking about WWE on a regular basis. Me personally, I don’t think it does a whole lot for AEW. Now what I think does AEW a hell of a service is doing shows like they did at Ashe Stadium, okay? They got Target Center coming up. Go out there and produce.”
“It’s a saying, man, you know, you can talk about it or you can be about it. If you go out and produce, you ain’t got to say nothing. It’s right here,” Booker T added.
Booker T also claimed that the boss does not work on the battlefield. He feels the boss makes strategies with his generals in the war room and everyone else goes out and works in the war zone. Booker T was not the only former WWE superstar who was unhappy with Tony Khan. Former WWE superstar Eric Bischoff was also unhappy with the statements made by Tony Khan in recent times.
