Randy Orton is among the few stars that have stayed with WWE the longest. Without a doubt, we can say that the WWE legend is loyal to the leading wrestling promotion. Orton’s loyalty to his workplace even shines through the posts that he likes online. Recently, the wrestler engaged in a tweet that mocked Tony Khan.
Recently, Tony Khan caught himself entangled in a web of online drama. It all started when he called out WWE for giving Jinder Mahal the ‘limelight’ all of a sudden in 2024. When a wrestling podcaster mocked Khan for his rant, Orton was among the people who liked the tweet.

As we all know, WWE is trying to set up Jinder Mahal for another title run in a long time against reigning World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. However, considering the past win-loss record of Mahal inside the promotion, Khan believes it is not ‘good’ booking and ranted about the same online.
A moral victory for USA is one win more than their World Title challenger Jinder Mahal has in the past 364 days… because it's been literally a full year since he won a match.
You really put AEW in our place getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on your tv show. Do it more often https://t.co/0kpuUsvkm1— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) January 9, 2024
After the consequent two tweets that the CEO of AEW made about Jinder Mahal, he was the second most trending topic on Twitter in the United States. So, SentiZap, a wrestling podcaster, took some time from his schedule to mock Tony Khan’s ability to get bothered by a rival promotion.
This was a clear shot at how people believe Khan to be incapable of good booking, yet he accidentally popularized a WWE star who was on the sidelines for a long time. Among various wrestling enthusiasts, Randy Orton also ended up liking this post.
I don’t ever want to hear that all Tony Khan does is buy talent and doesn’t make stars.
Today he made a mega-star out of Jinder Mahal.
Booker of the Year.

The Stamford-based company has tried to push the Indian heel on numerous occasions. In fact, “The Modern Day Maharaja” even received a decent WWE Championship run. However, it had been a long time since he even won a match. So, letting him challenge the reigning WHC was absurd for some fans. Although WWE didn’t officially reveal the reasons, there are a few hints at why they may be doing this.
Firstly, his segment with “The Rock” blew up like nobody expected. Secondly, Triple H had always liked the Indian-based wrestler’s work ethic. And lastly, they may be trying to get more Indian audiences on board by watching WWE. You can also learn about all three of these potential reasons in complete detail, but for now, all we know is that Mahal is getting a big push from WWE, as well as from the competing promotion’s CEO.
