3 AEW stars who took shots at Triple H and 2 who praised him

#1. AEW CEO Tony Khan took a shot at Triple H

Last June, Triple H insisted that WWE has the best female wrestlers in the world during a media call ahead of NXT TakeOver: In Your House. He also added that even those who are not in WWE want to join the company.

The Game's claims received a lot of criticism from several female wrestlers. AEW CEO Tony Khan also fired back at Triple H, calling his comments crazy.

"I think where people got offended yesterday is when he said, 'Everybody wants to work there.' That was like, people are confusing the two things. If you want to say like, 'Hey, I think my show is the best. I think my product is the best', there’s nothing wrong with that. Like you should feel that way. That’s good. But when you say it like, 'Anybody of any value wants to work here', that’s not true. It’s crazy. There’s plenty of people who work in AEW that have no interest in working there," Khan told Busted Open Radio.

Khan has been openly critical of WWE programming. He recently spoke about competing with WWE, claiming that his promotion won the Wednesday Night Wars.

"From the start AEW consistently did better numbers than NXT, and we won that war. AEW is now the Wednesday night show," he told Barstool Sports.

The Wednesday Night Wars lasted between October 2019 and April of this year as Triple H's NXT and AEW Dynamite aired simultaneously. WWE then moved NXT to Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays.
