5 times AEW stars and WWE Superstars clashed on social media

#2. Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes vs. WWE Superstar Champion Charlotte Flair

AEW and WWE talents engaged in a social media war back in late 2019, and it was all sparked by Twitter comments made by CM Punk. Before The Straight Edge Superstar made his return to wrestling, he briefly appeared as an analyst on WWE Backstage.

In his role, he had to critique the current WWE product and catch up on the years of wrestling he missed. In his tweet, he also tagged AEW owner Tony Khan.

The controversial response led to several people from both companies chiming in on their thoughts, including Randy Orton (more on that later) and Brandi Rhodes, and WWE star Charlotte Flair. Brandi approved of Khan's comments and claims that he gave a verbal knockout. Flair, however, was unimpressed and sarcastically remarked "please" with a rolling eyes emoji.

#1. WWE veteran Randy Orton vs. AEW owner Tony Khan

Randy Orton got into a huge Twitter spat with rival company owner Tony Khan after Tony made a snarky remark about WWE's business relationship with Saudi Arabia. Orton, who wrestled on the show, tweeted a link to a news article on allegations of corruption made against Tony's father Shahid. He captioned the post:

“What’s that whole thing about glass houses and stones.”

This, of course, enraged the younger Khan, who clapped back with the tweet above. The war of words also attracted comments from various stars from both companies at the time. Orton had just signed a new long-term deal with WWE after teasing that he would join AEW. It's the most high-profile social media clash among two of the biggest personalities from each promotion.
