Tony Khan, a name synonymous with professional wrestling, has been making waves across the industry. Khan’s AEW knows what’s best for his business, especially when it comes to making some of the most contentious decisions that benefit him. The AEW all-in ad that aired during SmackDown is an example of this.
Yes, it happened a few weeks ago, and it appears that this week’s SmackDown was no different. We noticed that Tony Khan made certain that the show included an advertisement for All In during its commercial break, but it was not for the United States audience. He did it for TNT Sports, the broadcaster that broadcasts WWE shows in the United Kingdom.
One fan cleared this story for everyone on Twitter as he stated, “Not that it makes a difference outside America but here 🏴 TNT SPORTS HOME OF WWE in uk until January move to Netflix anyway some reason during commercial theres AEW advertisement TNT SPORTS UK isn’t it’s home that’s ITV4 genius move by TK”

This was not the only person who noticed this, as all wrestling fans in the UK have been pointing it out and laughing a lot about it. Furthermore, they were amused by Tony Khan’s move. Hence one fan stated, “AEW commercial during WWE programming…” Although several others thought this was hilarious, it appears that other supporters were not pleased with Khan’s cheap ploy to gain attention. One even called out the owner of AEW stating, “aew have no shame running ads on wwe television”

Not only that but one of the fans recently inquired with TNT Sports about the event and why they would allow anything like this. They stated, “Why is TNT Sports showing AEW adverts on a WWE programme”

Another fan expressed his opinion on the situation, claiming Khan is a fool for spending money into WWE’s purse, “AEW is running ads for All In during Smackdown on TNT sports. Unless TNT is airing those ads free of charge. Tony just put money on WWE’s pockets F**king idiot.”
