Tony Khan may cut loose on Twitter from time to time, but Powerhouse Hobbs believes it only demonstrates his boss\’ dedication to AEW.
In the days leading up to this week\’s Raw, Khan fired off a series of tweets, outraged at the booking of Jinder Mahal in a World Heavyweight Championship match. Khan\’s comments would be mocked by fans online, with some pointing out AEW talent who have been thrust into title matches after lengthy breaks from programming.
Powerhouse Hobbs Reacts
Khan has never shied away from letting his views known on social media, which hasn\’t gone unnoticed by the AEW roster. In a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, Powerhouse Hobbs shared his two cents on Khan\’s online activity.
\”It\’s his company. He believes in us, and you know, if you believe in something, speak your mind. If you\’re 100% sure on it, speak your mind. If you\’re 99% sure on it, don\’t speak on it. He\’s 100% sure and he\’s speaking his mind. He believes in his company and he believes in us.\
Tony Khan on Social Media
Khan\’s outburst about Jinder Mahal is hardly the first time the AEW President has run his mouth on social media. Ahead of the Tuesday Night War of October 2023, Khan made a series of disparaging remarks about WWE\’s gold brand. Khan labeled Triple H and Shawn Michaels \”bald a**holes\” which made it all the more embarrassing when NXT decisively beat Dynamite in the ratings. While NXT soared to its third-highest viewership of all time, Dynamite hit its lowest viewership in close to two years.
Khan has claimed that an anti-AEW \’army\’ of bots bash the product on social media. In 2022, Khan suggested that only WWE would pay for such a wildly-expensive army of bots, but gave no hard evidence of this being the case at the time.
