Former WCW Star Disco Inferno gave his take on the tweets Tony Khan sent out before AEW Rampage went head-to-head with WWE SmackDown this past week.
On the Keepin' It 100, Inferno discussed Khan's tweets claiming it would backfire:
"He didn't say that, he didn't say, 'Can't wait to go head-to-head'. What did he say? He said, 'Beat you guys'. Bro, why would you tweet that, it's going to come back to bite him in the a**," said Disco Inferno.
Before last Friday's AEW Rampage and WWE SmackDown, Tony Khan sent out a tweet aimed at WWE. Khan mentioned how WWE was set to do an extra half hour to go head-to-head with AEW.
Khan also wrote he couldn't wait to beat WWE SmackDown and concluded by saying that it has been a long time coming.
Here's the tweet from Tony Khan:
While discussing the same topic, Inferno mentioned that the last time SmackDown was on FS1, they did around 725K viewers.
Inferno mentioned that if Khan was to publicly challenge WWE for a 30-minute head-to-head, the former would find it hard to believe that WWE is going to lose.
"SmackDown's on FS1, right? So the last time SmackDown was on FS1 they did like 725K last year. Like the same time, so it's going on a different network but I would doubt, you know, bro, there's no way, especially after that, with all the marketing and the commercials and stuff, and then all the programming they can do to market this and put commercial, there's no way WWE is... If he wants to publically challenge them for a 30-minute head-to-head, I would find it hard to believe that WWE is going to lose that half hour," added Disco Inferno.
