WWE is one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the entire world. Over the years, it has registered itself as a giant in the industry. What began as a regional wrestling promotion, has currently turned itself into an International giant.
Wrestling fans all over the world know and admire WWE, and budding wrestlers aspire to be a part of the roster. However, a couple of years ago, an equally competent competition for WWE opened up, when Tony Khan, started AEW with a few other independent wrestlers.
AEW is also one of the biggest wrestling promotions and has good ties with various other indie wrestling shows. However, AEW is also infamous for hiring various former WWE superstars, way past their prime, or others whose contracts just expired.

This resulted in the fans turning their back on her, and brutally attacking her on social media. The fans did not leave her alone, and also attacked her current employer, AEW, and called the promotion several names.
