Ahead of an intense ratings face-off between AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday and WWE NXT, the world of professional wrestling has been set abuzz by a controversial Twitter exchange. The epicenter of this online storm is AEW President Tony Khan, who has never been one to shy away from expressing his thoughts.

With such charged sentiments openly exchanged on a public platform, it's clear that the rivalry between AEW and WWE is escalating. Wrestling aficionados can certainly expect more fireworks as the competition between the two promotions intensifies. Only time will tell who will emerge victorious in this battle for ratings supremacy.
