Tony Khan Has A Message For Triple H And Shawn Michaels

Tony Khan is fired up. 

Nick Hausman of Haus of Wrestling put out a report saying that Triple H and Shawn Michaels were “looking to send a message” to Tony Khan in regards to Tuesday’s AEW Dynamite vs. NXT.

WWE is loading up Tuesday’s NXT with appearances from John Cena, Paul Heyman, and Cody Rhodes, along with a tease of The Undertaker. 

The report states:

Haus of Wrestling spoke with a fired-up WWE source close to NXT this morning who said tonight will be “a very clear example of how and why WWE is WWE, and why AEW has a long way to go.” They discussed how they felt AEW had been lulled into a false sense of reality that they were somehow an industry leader by continuing to beat WWE’s number three brand in viewership.

It also sounds as if there are lingering tensions from the infamous Wednesday Night War, with the idea that Tony Khan could have run Dynamite on Thursdays and the two would never have gone head-to-head. With Levesque now squarely back in control of WWE creative and Michaels taking pride in being the best, it was said Khan “poked the wrong ones at the wrong time.” The fact this is all happening on Khan’s 41st birthday was also pointed out to me, with it sounding like WWE NXT is fine spoiling his party.

Tony Khan, channeling Curb Your Enthusiasm, sent his own message to Triple H and Shawn Michaels. 

I have a message for them:

See you TONIGHT at a special Tuesday Night #AEWDynamite:
