Lio Rush was one of the many people who felt offended by Tony Khan's response to Big Swole. Rush insisted that Tony Khan issue an apology. The issue here was Big Swole’s interview, in which she discussed her concerns about AEW and the lack of diversity after she didn’t extend her contract and parted ways with AEW. She claimed that the booking policy of AEW placed some of the company's talent on Dark and Elevation rather than Rampage and Dynamite.
Tony Khan responded by providing other examples of diversity on his roster before announcing in his final tweet that he decided not to extend Big Swole's contract because he did not think she was a good enough wrestler.
