3 WWE Superstars who took shots at AEW wrestlers and 3 who praised them

AEW came into being last year and has been doing well for itself ever since then. Soon after AEW was formed, WWE took a shot at the brand new promotion at its 2019 Hall of Fame ceremony, with DX having some fun at the expense of what many were dubbing as WWE's "new competition".

Over the next several months, several WWE Superstars and AEW stars took shots at each other. Most notable instances were when King Corbin hinted that he had better things to do than watching AEW Double Or Nothing, or when Cody took a major shot at Triple H during his Double Or Nothing entrance. This doesn't mean that wrestlers from both promotions only have had insults to throw at each other.

In the following list, we will be taking a look at three WWE Superstars who took jibes at AEW stars, and three who had nothing but praise for them.

#6 WWE Superstar Seth Rollins says Jon Moxley is trying to take food off his table

Late-2019 Seth Rollins was a guy who the audience had grown to genuinely hate, courtesy his tweet comparing bank accounts with NJPW star Will Ospreay. Rollins was getting heavily booed by fans during his feud with The Fiend. A short while before the feud kicked off, Rollins made a comment about his former Shield associate Jon Moxley, which angered fans to no end.

But, now he’s competition, now he’s the one trying to take dinner off my table so good on him but we’re going to do our best to continue to be the best here at WWE and those guys want to step up to the big leagues to give it a shot? Then by all means but we’re going to knock them dead just like we do everybody else.

Rollins' attempt to take a shot at Jon Moxley wasn't taken well by the fans, who felt that he went too far with the comment about Moxley trying to take food off his table. Many slammed him for the same, stating that he makes a good amount of money as a WWE Superstar, and his comments were in poor taste.

#5 WWE Superstar Bayley says she is the No. 1 fan of AEW star

There was no way we were going to talk about Superstars praising each other and not include SmackDown Women's Champion, Bayley. It's no secret that Bayley is one of the most beloved Superstars in all of WWE, and almost no one has had anything bad to say about her in the past. Bayley recently took to Twitter and heaped praise on AEW's young gun, Ricky Starks.

Bayley said that she is Starks' No. 1 fan, and added that she hopes his back is better. Starks quickly responded to Bayley's tweet and said that he is her No. 1 fan as well. Starks also assured Bayley that he is doing better. This wholesome conversation was a breath of fresh air amidst the constant barrage of AEW and WWE wrestlers taking shots at each other on a regular basis. Bayley is one of the best villains in WWE today, but when it comes to real life, there aren't many in the business who are as caring and helpful as her.

#4 WWE Superstar MVP takes a jibe at MJF for "rebooting" his look

2020 has certainly been kind to MVP. The WWE veteran was nowhere on TV just a few months ago. His appearance at the 2020 Royal Rumble kicked off his career resurgence, and he is currently a part of The Hurt Business, a major stable on WWE RAW. MVP regularly updates his Instagram and Twitter and was seen taking a slight jibe at a popular AEW star a short while ago via his Instagram handle.

MVP shared a clip from his initial stint in WWE, featuring himself and SmackDown GM Teddy Long. MVP can be seen wearing a scarf in this backstage video, and he didn't forget to remind the fans that he recently saw the attire and look "getting rebooted".

MJF has had the same look for a while now, and it didn't take long for fans to realize that MVP was taking a jibe at the AEW star. MVP is currently doing fine for himself as a part of The Hurt Business, and it seems like we will be seeing him on WWE TV for a long time to come.

#3 WWE Superstar Paige heaps praise on Nyla Rose

AEW star Nyla Rose has been on the receiving end of a barrage of transphobic comments for a long time now. The former AEW Women's World Champion once shared a screenshot of an exchange between her and a fan, who made some vile comments against her on Twitter. Rose gave a befitting response to him, but it didn't end here. WWE's Paige came to Nyla's rescue and showered praise on her.

"You can go as a beautiful bad a** queen that don’t take no sh**.. I found this pic as an example of who inspires me every day to help you out.. keep making history sis and these clowns are gonna keep being jealous!"

Paige could certainly relate to Nyla Rose, as she regularly receives negative comments slamming her appearance, among other things, on Twitter. Paige has had surgery in the past, and many fans took it upon themselves to tell her that she didn't look good post-surgery. The former WWE Diva has been dealing with negativity for years on end at this point and knew how Nyla felt reading hateful comments on Twitter.

#2 WWE Superstar T-BAR takes a major shot at Chris Jericho on Twitter

T-BAR's Twitter game is being praised by the WWE Universe

Back in September, WWE's T-BAR was putting out tweets left and right, and many praised him for putting himself over via social media. Around the same time, T-BAR posted a tweet explaining why WWE signed RETRIBUTION to a contract. The tweet was met with a response from AEW star Chris Jericho, who simply tweeted "Huh?" T-BAR wasn't one to let this one slide by and took a major shot at the former AEW World Champion.

T-BAR shared a screenshot in response to Jericho's tweet, which featured a bunch of news headlines about the Sturgis Rally being labeled as a COVID-19 hotbed. The rally featured a concert that Jericho was a part of, and the in-ring veteran has recently been avoiding questions regarding the same. Many expected to see Jericho fire back at T-BAR for the tweet, but it seemed like Jericho didn't want the Sturgis Rally controversy to garner more coverage. It's safe to say that this round was won by T-BAR.

#1 WWE Superstar AJ Styles recalls how helpful Chris Jericho was back in 2016

AJ Styles made his WWE debut in the 2016 Royal Rumble match. After an impressive performance, he was thrown out by Kevin Owens. Styles went on to engage in a storyline with WWE veteran Chris Jericho, but the duo's stint as a tag team didn't last long. Jericho turned on Styles on the road to WrestleMania and the two met on The Grandest Stage Of Them All. While speaking about Jericho, Styles had nothing but praise for him.

I love Chris. I can’t say enough good things about him. The dude is just awesome. My first WrestleMania was with Chris and he was all about helping me out. From the Royal Rumble when I debuted all the way to WrestleMania, he was always trying to help me out. Big thanks to Chris.

Styles went on to become a two-time WWE Champion and had feuds with the likes of The Undertaker, Roman Reigns, and John Cena. Styles is still signed with WWE and is a valuable asset for the company.
