AEW President Tony Khan took to social media to seemingly take a swipe at WWE RAW's lowest viewership in months for this week's edition.
Khan has a well-known tendency to reference and sometimes mention WWE in any way possible. Just recently, at the AEW All Out media scrum last September 4, he went off about the sports entertainment giant making an event during Labor Day Weekend, claiming his company used to be the only one doing so.
The extravaganza was called Clash of the Castle, which happened on September 3 and coincided with the All Out event. During the post-show presser, the AEW CEO exclaimed that he would not "sit back and take that f***ing shit" from WWE.
This week's edition of RAW drew only 1.59 million viewers, their lowest since July 4. It was due to heavy competition with NFL's Monday Night Football games on ESPN (Tennessee Titans versus Buffalo Bills) and ABC (Minnesota Vikings versus Philadelphia Eagles).

Taking to Twitter, Khan didn't waste an opportunity to take a jab at the Stamford-based promotion. He posted a GIF that said, "Are You Ready For Some Football?," seemingly referencing Monday Night's lowest viewership in the Triple H era so far.
Check out his tweet below:
While WWE's upper brass, led by Triple H, didn't really respond to Khan's comments, it would be interesting to see if the superstars would react to this latest shot fired by the latter.

The 39-year-old executive's recent tweet was quickly stormed by reactions from the Twitter wrestling faithful.
A couple of users wondered if Tony Khan's tweet was a jab at RAW ratings and suggested that the CEO should put his AEW Dynamite on Mondays.
Meanwhile, this user had an interesting two cents for the President of All Elite Wrestling.
Another user highlighted that Khan's obsession with the sports entertainment company is at an all-time high, to the point that he can consider himself a fan.
Lastly, someone asked a question about when was the last time WWE was spiteful on social media.
AEW will have a chance to surpass WWE RAW's ratings this week as the Grand Slam event gets underway tomorrow on Dynamite.
