WWE is striving to attain more global eyes and viewership in the future. They laid out the indication ever since they announced their historic merger with the UFC by Endeavor. With AEW delivering a record-breaking show at Wembley Stadium, the pressure was on WWE to deliver some blockbuster news and that’s what they did. WWE and NFL recently announced a multi-year licensing deal, sending fans into a hysteria. Unfortunately, this news came with some disappointment as well for the fans of the NFL side Jacksonville Jaguars.

Triple H snubbing Trevor Lawrence and his team?

WWE continues to expand its horizon and is doing everything it can to become more mainstream than ever. Keeping in line with this the company announced a blockbuster deal with NFL, that excited the fans. But as this deal was announced another development raised quite a few questions.

According to their website, WWE has confirmed a multi-year licensing deal to create NFL-inspired title belts, featuring the branding along with the official colors of all 32 teams.

This will mark the first-ever licensing agreement between WWE and the NFL. The belts are being sold at three websites, including WWEShop.com, NFLShop.com, and Fanatics.com Unfortunately, fans have noticed something that has aroused a controversial debate.

It emerged that WWE has removed the Jacksonville Jaguars legacy title from WWE’s shop, as a result having 31 belts instead of 32.

The reason why fans find this suspicious is because of the association of the belt with AEW. Shahid Khan, AEW president Tony Khan’s father, is the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars team, which also includes the popular quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

“Hate AEW” fans troll WWE with their speculations about them targeting AEW

Everyone knows about the beef between Triple H and Khan. Ever since HHH called AEW a secondary promotion, Khan has been adamant about proving him wrong. While the revert was the record-breaking AEW All In showing, there’s no denying that the stiffness still exists. With that in mind, fans have now shared their thoughts on social media regarding their snub of the Jaguars.

Some fans felt that WWE’s animosity towards AEW was apparent and called them out on Twitter.

Many felt that their reasons for removing the belt were petty and not deemed fit for the established organization.

Others were quick to guess how Vince McMahon didn’t play it fair and removed the belt for obvious reasons. This comes in light of the fact that many believe and claim online that the belt was actually sold out and had nothing to do with McMahon’s or Triple H’s involvement. 

While one can’t confirm if WWE removed the title or not, fans will continue to speculate until further updates pop up. What do you think about WWE’s deal with the NFL? Do you think they intentionally snubbed that one title belt to stick it to Tony Khan?
