Nick Aldis Pokes Fun At USA Network

The tension between AEW President Tony Khan and the USA Network continues to simmer, with WWE’s Nick Aldis recently joining in on the fun.

The ongoing feud began when Khan criticized WWE’s booking of Jinder Mahal in a World Heavyweight Championship match on Raw, citing Mahal’s less than stellar win-loss record.

This criticism sparked backlash from fans, leading to comparisons to AEW’s own sudden forays, such as Abaddon in the TBS title photo and Hook in the AEW World Championship photo.

The initial impetus for Khan’s rant came from a seemingly innocuous tweet by USA Network in response to a wrestling discussion surrounding the 2012 NXT Championship match between Mahal and Seth Rollins.

Khan perceived it as an attack on himself, and the incident further escalated the feud.

USA Network has once again stepped into the WWE storyline in response to a tweet from Zelina Vega, who was not given an opportunity to compete on SmackDown.

Vega said she had no problem with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce believing in her. In response, USA Network revealed that Vega had always been impressing with her work.

Nick Aldis, who represents SmackDown’s general manager, took note of this exchange and indirectly referenced the ongoing Khan Mahal controversy in his response, stating that he is committed to maintaining good relations with USA Network employees.

The banter between professional wrestling promotions and their broadcast partners continues to entertain fans and adds a layer of intrigue to the current world of professional wrestling.
