“Not True at All”: Tony Khan Defends AEW Female Wrestler Over Similar Comparison With Jinder Mahal’s Recent World Title Booking Against Seth Rollins

Jinder Mahal recently earned a shot against Seth freakin Rollins at next week’s Raw. Given that he’s been absent from the main roster for years, the push has been subject to a lot of discussion lately.

Going with the traditional WWE-AEW rivalry, One of the random people on the internet even compared his push to that of Tony Khan’s handing AEW female star Abandon a title shot. That said, Khan himself came up to dismiss this claim outright.

Tony Khan put a top AEW female wrestler above WWE’s Jinder Mahal in a derogatory tweet

Abandon had been sidelined with an injury for nearly a year and was back in the lore ahead of AEW Dynamite. Shortly after, the AEW boss rushed to get her a massive push, just like WWE did to Mahal.

When Eric Bischoff shared the comparison post, asking Khan if that was the case, the AEW head honcho lambasted WWE’s booking style, saying, ”No
@EBischoff, not true at all.
Abadon returned to AEW + then they won a 4-way match on TNT against other great wrestlers to earn a title shot, which is completely different than someone going a full year losing every match they’re in + getting a title shot without a single win.”

Khan defending his booking only depicts the typical air of competition prevailing between the two giant promotions.

Moving in a different direction, Mahal isn’t likely to win the belt next week but that doesn’t mean he will let the disrespect get away without throwing some solid counter shades.

Jinder Mahal had a fiery comeback following the insult

Jinder Mahal made an epic return during the Day 1 edition of WWE RAW to thunderous boos from the crowd. He got in the way of The Rock and was put through an attitude adjustment by receiving The People’s Elbow from the People’s Champion at the end of the segment. A week after the saga, he showed up again last night on the red brand.

This time he had set his eyes on none other than the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, and put the Visionary on notice saying he was coming after the World Heavyweight Championship. It led to the company making a title match between Mahal and Rollins official for Raw next week.

Tonight when Tony Khan called out WWE directly labeling the Canadian wrestler undeserving of the push he just received, Mahal dished out a sarcastic response.

Per the comparison, Khan made regarding AEW’s Hook who garnered brickbats following a push, the Modern Day Maharaja wrote, Who tf is Hook?
