Tony Khan and AEW have experienced a lot of success in recent times. However, not everyone is a fan of AEW and there has been some hate directed towards AEW online.
But this is not only for AEW, this is common for all. Even AEW’s biggest competitor, WWE, also gets some hate from people on social media.
However, Tony Khan recently claimed most of the Anti-AEW online community aren’t real individuals.

According to a tweet from Tony, it’s a staff running thousands of accounts and an army of bots.
An independent study has confirmed that much of the staunch anti-AEW online community aren’t real individuals, it’s a staff running thousands of accounts + an army of bots to signal boost them. Look closely, these aren’t real people. Who’d pay for such a *wildly* expensive thing?

At the end of his tweet, the AEW president wrote, “Who’d pay for such a *wildly* expensive thing?”. Not only this tweet, but Tony also made some other tweets following this.
Research this one yourselves. You internet detectives thrive in these situations.
Speaking of wild things:

Though Tony never mentioned WWE’s name, several fans feel this is an indirect shot fired by Tony Khan towards WWE. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T gave his reactions to the tweets from the AEW president.
During an episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, Booker T said, “Is Tony Khan losing his damn mind? Everybody is not gonna like you. You should look at my Twitter account, Tony. They hate me, but I got so much love from so many people at the same time.”
“I am sure Tony Khan got a lot of love from so many people because this guy is delivering jobs. Think about that. Do not think about these people on Twitter because you will lose your mind,” he added.
Well, this is also very good advice from Booker T for Tony Khan. On social media, there will be haters who might comment in a negative manner. But, if anyone thinks about it too much, then it might affect them negatively.
