"Might as well play up the villainous boss role" - Twitter flares up to Tony Khan being booed during major announcement on AEW Dynamite
Tony Khan's opening announcement on AEW Dynamite this week apparently received a less than pleasant reaction from fans.
CM Punk's recent comments at the All Out media scrum have become the talk of the pro-wrestling world. Following the presser, reports surfaced that there had been a massive brawl backstage involving Punk, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks, among others.
With the AEW audience clamoring for an update regarding the stars, Tony Khan delivered a massive announcement in the opening moments of Dynamite. However, his appearance on the big screen was heavily booed by fans, sparking a varied reaction on social media as well.
Here are some of the notable reactions:
Many criticized the All Elite Wrestling President for his management skills.
@AEW @TonyKhan He deserved the boos. Man up and run your company better.
Did you hear the @AEW fans boo @TonyKhan tonight? Beginning to look like @TripleH is better than Tony ... and they know it.
@bullyray5150 @davidlagreca1 @TheMarkHenry @THETOMMYDREAMER
They boo'd Tony Khan like he was Rodger Goodell at the NFL draft

@istomatoafruit @Fightful That’s too predicable. Watch @TonyKhan screw them over. He’s already getting boo’d, might as well play up the villainous boss role.
@TonyKhan did you here the boos tell me why the titles are vacant please don't ignore this #aew
@AEW @TonyKhan Fans and once fans are on the VERY edge of revolting on this whole thing and boo the entire show off air.
@AEW @TonyKhan Them boos tho
Several fans also disagreed with the adverse reaction, highlighting that it was not justified.
@TonyKhan thank you. That is all. You don’t deserve the boos. You deserve your roses.
It felt a little jarring hearing AEW fans boo Tony Khan. #AEW
I don’t get the Tony Khan boos
As of now, there has been no further word from officials about future plans for the stars involved in the heated interaction on Sunday. Sportskeeda Wrestling will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
