"AEW has a guy that pretends to be a dinosaur" - Twitter questions Tony Khan's booking after criticism of Bray Wyatt's segment on WWE SmackDown
This past week on WWE SmackDown, Bray Wyatt and LA Knight had an interaction. The segment received some harsh criticism from a few fans. The wrestling world questioned their rival promoter Tony Khan and his booking, comparing the storylines in AEW to the Wyatt segment.
LA Knight and Bray Wyatt have been feuding with each other for several weeks. Knight was mysteriously taken out two weeks ago. The former IMPACT Wrestling star accused Wyatt of being the attacker, but the Eater of Worlds had been denying the accusations.
During this week's episode of SmackDown, LA Knight blamed Wyatt once again and mentioned that he was fooling the wrestling world by acting innocent. Knight also claimed that Wyatt and Uncle Howdy were one and the same. To his surprise, while the former WWE Champion was in the ring, Uncle Howdy made his first appearance in front of the crowd.
.@RealLAKnight once again gets attacked backstage and voices his frustrations and accusations at #BrayWyatt in the ring, but Uncle Howdy appears to perplex the brash Superstar.

@DeadpoolBurner0 @TonyKhan Right Booker of the year would never do anything silly or dumb right? He would never have someone swimming in a drink, falling on boxes, acting like an explosion went off when nothing happened, or even magic in wrestling like HOB.

No wonder they didnโt hit over 1mil on Dynamite or Rampage in a long time lol
@DeadpoolBurner0 @TonyKhan While I do think this storyline has been underwhelming for my taste, Tony is an AWFUL booker and has his fair share of trash.
Dinosaur, Exploding Barbwire, Stadium nonsense, Jericho falling on cardboard, keeping 3 piss baby EVPโs over an actual star. https://t.co/mNT5XCvvfl
@DeadpoolBurner0 @TonyKhan Yep, to provide us with the horryifing explosions of the electric barbed-wire landmine kill fest deathmatch!
People also pin-pointed the fact that the Internet Wrestling Community wanted Tony Khan to sign the former WWE Universal Champion immediately after he was released.
