AEW's Tony Khan has been firing shots at WWE ever since the two promotions were set to compete on the same night this week after a long time. Recently, fans reacted to Hall of Famer Booker T's comments and supported the 6-time World Champion's statement against the owner of All Elite Wrestling.

Earlier this week, Tony Khan made some harsh comments towards WWE and some of the talents when AEW Dynamite went head-to-head against NXT on USA Network. The result shocked the fans as NXT bagged nearly a million views, and Dynamite hardly made 600k views.

After the loss, Khan made several comments which riled up everyone in the world of professional wrestling. Recently, Booker T made an argument against the statement made by Khan, and fans wholeheartedly supported the former World Champion.

Check out some of the reactions below:

Tony Khan has already faced a huge backlash from fans as they were disappointed with the statements made by Khan instead of moving forward. It will be interesting to see what's next for the promotion in the near future.


Tony Khan fired shots at former WWE Champions John Cena and The Undertaker

Earlier this week, The Undertaker and John Cena appeared live on the developmental brand's weekly show on the USA Network. The Leader of Cenation came out and stood by Carmelo Hayes. Later in the night, The Deadman appeared and chokeslammed Bron Breakker to close out the show.

Fans cherished the appearances by WWE's main roster talent to uplift the next generation. After the show, Tony Khan made some snippy comments towards Taker and Cena for appearing on the developmental show, which went head-to-head against AEW Dynamite. Check it out:

"This week, 2 active decades-long ratings streaks from 2 great legends were ended. With all due respect, until this week's head-to-head AEW on TBS vs WWE on USA, neither John Cena nor Undertaker had ever been on a WWE show with under 1 million total viewers + under 400k in the demo."

The comment didn't sit well with anyone in the world of professional wrestling, as there are reports that state the Stamford-based promotion has taken these comments as a sign of promotional war. It will be interesting to see what's next with both shows after their return to their original slots.
