“Waiting for TK reaction” WWE Universe goes on a ham after Wade Barrett takes a subtle jab at Tony Khan’s recent social media tantrums

It’s funny how a social media outburst from Tony Khan made Jinder Mahal the talk of the town. Had it not been for the AEW CEO diving deep and unearthing the flaws in WWE’s creative, Mahal’s latest showdown with Seth Rollins wouldn’t have amassed such traction. Last night on Raw, before The Modern Day Maharaja went down fighting The Visionary for the world title, Wade Barrett did not shy away from alluding to a recent happening.

The Raw commentator simply said that the Jinder hinderers were on social media all week long. And for obvious reasons, fans believe that it was indeed a taste of his own medicine for Tony, owing to his out-of-the-blue tantrum on X. Speaking of how Jinder fared on Raw this week, he was flanked by The Indus Sher to begin with. Midway through the match, Damian Priest was too out with his MITB contract, adding to Seth’s woes.

However, during the closing moments, when Priest appeared to be going for the cash-in, Drew McIntyre emerged on the scene. A brawl broke out between the two tall wielders. Meanwhile, it caused referee Chad Patton to get distracted from what was going on in the ring. That allowed Indus Sher’s Veer and Sanga to take a cheap shot at Rollins.

Taking advantage of the ringside chaos, Mahal dropped Seth with a Khallas, only for the champion to kick out at the last possible moment. And then, The Architect finally drove Jinder’s head into the ring canvas, courtesy of the curb stomp, to retain the gold. Even though the match wasn’t a technical tryst, the closing stretch did set some bells ringing.

WWE fans have hilarious responses to Tony Khan-aimed jab on Raw

Of course, the fans are satisfied with WWE’s decision to not allow a curveball to stain Seth Rollins’ ongoing title reign. There were some butterflies in the stomach leading up to this. However, now that it’s said and done, Seth can move on from this week-long hubbub.

But speaking of the line that the fans were nimble enough to pounce on, it came from Wade Barrett, as mentioned earlier. And how could the social media geeks forget Tony Khan? They reacted in such a way that Wade’s bombshell on Raw would’ve left the AEW owner fuming in the corner.

A user also said he’d wait for Khan to rekindle his online scorn for WWE. Another fan posted a picture of an AI-reimagined version of Tony Khan being shocked at something. The timeline seems ready for Tony’s next contentious sojourn.
