Tony Khan Says HOOK Is A Logical Challenger For A World Title Unlike Jinder Mahal, Responds To USA Network
Tony Khan boots up social media to fire some shots.
The AEW CEO took to Twitter on Tuesday, January 9 to send out two tweets. In the first tweet, Khan took aim at the controversial segment that aired on the January 6 episode of AEW Collision, which featured HOOK challenging Samoa Joe to a future AEW World Championship bout. Khan noted that there is a double standard online, as he accused fans of not criticizing WWE for booking Jinder Mahal against Seth Rollins in a World Heavyweight Championship match on the January 15 episode of Raw.
A double standard:@730hook 28-1 career record, on winning streak calls out the Champ, a logical challenge sparks online outrage
Jinder has literally lost every single match he’s in for the past year, immediately gets title shot, where is the rage#AEWDynamite TOMORROW on TBS

Khan then responded to the USA Network account, who recently took a playful jab at Khan by making a reference to Cagematch.
What was the cagematch rating?

Khan said that the USA Network really put AEW in their place by getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on their television show. Khan also once again noted that Jinder Mahal hasn’t won a match in nearly a full year.
A moral victory for USA is one win more than their World Title challenger Jinder Mahal has in the past 364 days… because it’s been literally a full year since he won a match.
You really put AEW in our place getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on your tv show. Do it more often https://t.co/0kpuUsvkm1— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) January 9, 2024
