While WWE and AEW have both tried to downplay claims that there is a war between both companies, there has been evidence to suggest that they want to hurt each other. Superstars and personnel from both companies have repeatedly fired shots at the competition, and now a report has emerged which states that people within WWE have been spreading lies about AEW’s ticket sales.
Citing Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WrestlingNews.co reports that some members of WWE’s staff have claimed that AEW co-founder Tony Khan bought the tickets for the company’s sell out shows in an effort to make the company appear successful.
According to Meltzer, he found out about the rumor when he was being interviewed for an upcoming documentary, where the director revealed that some WWE employees told the filmmaker about Khan’s alleged actions.
