Tony Khan Defends Tweet Regarding AEW Rampage Competing Against WWE SmackDown

By Jesse Burns Last updated Oct 9, 2021

Next Friday will be a huge night for wrestling fans due to the fact that All Elite Wrestling and WWE will be competing against each other on the same night for the first time since NXT was on Wednesdays.

The final 30 minutes of SmackDown will be up against the first 30 minutes of AEW Rampage.

Smackdown will be a 2 hour and 30 minute show next Friday and will air on FS1 due to the MLB Playoffs airing on FOX.

Tony Khan enjoys the opportunity for competition during next Friday’s match up against one of WWE’s main shows.

I saw you’re doing a half hour head-to-head with us. I can’t wait to finally beat your main show head-to-head. It’s been a long time coming. See you next Friday for #AEWRampage on @AEWonTNT!

Fans are worried regarding Tony Khan’s tweet but Khan doesn’t seem to be too worried at least according to his replies on Twitter.

If I’m not sweating it, you shouldn’t be either. This is what sports are about, set a goal & try your best. We’ve got a great #AEWRampage card Friday + big Dynamite matches Saturday. I expect to do well, but regardless of next Friday’s stats, it’ll be a great weekend for the fans

Twitter’s the child of the boards/chat rooms that thrived during the 90s wrestling war; part of my business plan is recreating that competitive spirit while avoiding WCW’s errors, which is why I pace/don’t blow thru matches. @AEW has many years’ worth of big matches up my sleeve.

Dude, people online were absolutely furious over that in 98. Eric already had crazy online heat before that too. I’ll never take it that far; I’ve never claimed I could physically best Vince, I just think AEW can put on a better wrestling show than them & I want people to know it
