If there was ever a good moment to start watching WWE, it is right now. After Triple H and Stephanie McMahon took control of the business, the surprises and engaging storylines that WWE had been missing for a while are now guaranteed in every episode. It appears the new leadership has introduced fresh concepts.
However, WWE’s setback to AEW in terms of ratings was one letdown after HHH took over. And AEW didn’t miss the opportunity to draw attention to this on the programme as Max Caster, who is renowned for his witty rap, took shot against them.

For those who were unaware, All Elite Wrestling and WWE clashed off on Tuesday night on Dynamite, a show that aired simultaneously with NXT. The sources claim that AEW’s special Tuesday Edition edition of Dynamite garnered approximately 75k more views than NXT.
Caster performed his trademark rap on Friday at Rampage. Notably, Caster offended many when he insulted Lizzo, and he did the same thing again when he boasted that AEW had triumphed in Tuesday’s ratings battle over WWE during his rap. This, though, didn’t sit well with many fans, and he had to deal with their wrath.
Fans’ reaction to Max Caster taking a shot at WWE
In response, one fan contested the rap and in jest found it funny that Caster took a shot after beating WWE’s Developmental Brand.
Against developmental 😂

One user slammed the rap and asked him to perform a song without any references to WWE.
I dare him to do a rap that doesn’t reference WWE. Cringe. #AEW https://t.co/aOYQaOyXuu

However, according to one user, Smackdown had more viewership than AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage put together.

Meanwhile, a user mocked AEW, labeling it a sad organization that only cares about its ratings and attacking WWE, and said that they should be more concerned with creating compelling characters and excellent stories.
AEW Is sad company. They only care about is ratings and taking shots at wwe and just doing matches.
They Should care more about telling great stories and having Compelling characters. Who’s there mainstream Star right now

In addition, a person said that WWE fanboys cry whenever their firm is mentioned.
WWE fan boys crying every time they're company is mentioned I like both companies and I love it I love when companies are upfront about hating each other

According to one fan, in order for AEW to exist, WWE should always stay in business.
This just proves that AEW needs WWE because they can’t cut a promo or anything without mentioning WWE!! So they need WWE to survive or they would have no content!! It’s just sad

“WWE lives rent-free in the head of AEW,” said one fan.
WWE lives rent-free in the head of AEW, so it isn't surprising. Multiple references a week.

One user finds it really amusing that AEW is boasting about winning against WWE’s 3rd show.
Wow….boasting a about bearing WWE's 3rd show. Have them move to Monday or have them air the same time as Smackdown and then we shall see how they do.

It’s interesting that one commenter asserted that WWE will likely cover AEW’s entire profit margin with a single show in Saudi Arabia.
