AEW CEO Tony Khan then took to social media and thanked Mankiewicz and TCM for helping AEW present the title match. Mankiewicz replied by thanking Khan for asking. He said that they love finding classic movies in unexpected places.
Thanks for asking, Tony. We love finding classic movies in unexpected (for us, anyway) places. https://t.co/gnQL926J2R

Mankiewicz also commented on his appearance by saying that he was not entirely sure what he did, but he was further proof that classic movie fans are everyone. He noted that it was wonderful to see.
I’m not entirely sure what I did here, but it’s further proof that classic movie fans are everywhere. And it is wonderful.
Also, it got me texting with my idiot wrestling friend (I don’t think those things are related) @JimmyAltman, who I’ve always been faster than. https://t.co/yDeuMWmAJI
