AEW President Tony Khan does not like fans criticizing his show
One of the aspects of AEW that fans talk about is that Tony Khan is also the head booker of the wrestling franchise. Every time the ratings of the show dip, Tony is the one called out by the audiences and even wrestling veterans. However, it looks like Tony Khan has had enough of it.
The February 3, 2024, episode of Collision saw a 35% increase in ratings, and the AEW President seemed pretty pleased until he came through a fan's tweet. It all happened when Dave Meltzer spoke about the ratings of Collision's lead-in show, NCIS New Orleans, and a fan had a disparaging nickname for Collision in a tweet that has since been deleted.
"Actually, in the tv business, pulling a number 9 times higher than your lead-in is a good thing, genius."

What the future has in store for Tony Khan remains to be seen.
