AEW announced their arrival back at Double or Nothing which included a number of shots at WWE with the biggest moment coming when Cody Rhodes destroyed Triple H's throne as part of his entrance as a way of showing that The Game's reign over the wrestling industry was over.
In the weeks since Double or Nothing, WWE and AEW have seemingly sent a number of shots outside of the ring with the most notable one coming when WWE announced earlier in the week that they would be streaming Evolve's 10th Anniversary show on the same night as AEW's charity show Fight For The Fallen.
The tension between both companies is running high and since AEW took centre stage this weekend they were once again able to fire shots at WWE as part of their programming.
#3. That entrance?
Kenny Omega teamed with The Young Bucks against The Lucha Bros and Laredo Kid at Fyter Fest and it appears that the trio wanted to make their entrance memorable since they looked back at WWE history and pinpointed one of the funniest fan moments of all time.
Batista was once upstaged by a fan backstage when he was attempting to cut a promo and the fan then performed Batista's iconic entrance in front of him before running away from security. Ahead of Omega's entrance into the arena, a fan ran up to the top of the ramp and performed Batista's entrance before he was then knocked out by Kenny Omega.
It's such a subtle shot at WWE that many fans didn't even spot it, but it's definitely something that Omega and The Young Bucks thought about before they entered the arena last night.
#2. That pedigree!
The kickoff show for last night's Fyter Fest was definitely considered to be underwhelming, with the match between Leva Bates and Allie seemingly the dull point of the night. Whilst the match was full of botches, there was also a subtle shot sent at WWE.
Allie was seemingly in the middle of her comeback before former WWE star Bates, who was once known as Blue Pants, delivered a pedigree to Allie, a move that was made famous by Triple H. Allie then shockingly kicked out of the move and the match continued.
The pedigree is one of the biggest moves in WWE and the fact that Bates felt the need to use it in the middle of her match on the kick-off show and not even get the win off it, had to be a definite shot at WWE from the former NXT star.
#1. Chair shots to the head
There was a reason that WWE made chair shots to the head illegal in their company. There are a number of instances throughout history that have led WWE to the decision to only allow chair shots to be taken to the body on live TV. Concussion lawsuits have also forced WWE's hand and one of the reasons why the shots were banned was because WWE went PG and even banned blood.
AEW is obviously TV-14 which means that there is much more wiggle room for the company to get away with these kinds of shots with weapons, at one point Moxley even brought out thumbtacks in his match, something that WWE hasn't allowed for a number of years. This hopefully isn't a sign of things to come for AEW since Rhodes didn't even cover up for the chair shot, but it's a clear sign that AEW is looking to change the rules of the wrestling game moving forward.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
