WWE Superstar reportedly took a cheeky dig at AEW on RAW this week
The war between AEW and WWE seems to be far from over, as while Tony Khan has been open with his knocks against his rivals, according to Dave Meltzer, WWE star Maxxine Dupri recently took a shot against Khan's promotion.
AEW President is unfortunately known for his wild statements, and during a media scrum last year, he confirmed that WWE has been giving him some major pushback. Back then, Khan was very upset and claimed he wouldn't be taking the flak, so could he retaliate this time?
During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer pointed out that the Maximum Male Model's segment with Chad Gable included a dig at AEW from Maxxine Dupri.
The star seemingly made a reference to Vanderpump Rules, a reality TV series that specifically opposes Dynamite, on Wednesday nights.

Tony Khan might not be the same kind of competitor that Vince McMahon and, by extension, Triple H are used to since he's notably been running his promotion much differently than other pro wrestling owners.
According to a recent report, Khan notably didn't include any non-compete clauses in his contracts, resulting in a possibly far more pleasant experience.

The AEW President has seemingly already made his next move against WWE in their ongoing war
All Elite Wrestling has unfortunately been under a lot of pressure over the past few months, especially with the alleged in-fighting between roster members.
So far, several surprising names have already departed from the promotion, like Frankie Kazarian, but could Tony Khan have a trick up his sleeve?

According to a recent report by PWInsider, Tony Khan has now signed former WWE development trainer Sarah Stock, better known as Dark Angel or Sarita. Stock was employed in WWE from 2015 until her release back in September 2020.
Sarah Stocks' years as a trainer and producer could help AEW alleviate some of the criticisms the Women's Division especially faces.
At this point, it's still unclear exactly where she'll be assisting, but her acquisition seems to imply that Tony is focusing on improving the product of his promotion instead of adding major names.
