AEW Dynamite: Blood and Guts took place yesterday. The titular match was extremely physical, as expected. A spot saw a handcuffed Jack Perry (to the cage) take an unprotected chair shot to the head from Mark Briscoe.

While the chair shot looked brutal, many fans stated it was a gimmick, which means it was not as harmful to Jungle Boy as it would have been if it were a real blow to the head.

Following the match on Dynamite, Corey Graves criticized the chair/headshot Perry received during the Blood and Guts match. He clarified he was concerned about the star's health.

Although the WWE commentator never directly mentioned AEW or the TNT Champion in his tweet, the fans were sure who he was referring to. Later, for some unknown reason, the WWE star deleted his post.

His deleted post has now resurfaced online and making rounds on social media. Let's see what the wrestling universe said about Corey's comments.

A fan wrote, "Definitely no need to be mad at this. Man is genuinely looking out for the future."
"I agree. I'm not a fan of chair shots to the head. Enjoyed the match tonight, but they're not needed," said another fan.

Some fans supported Corey Graves in his argument.

"He’s not wrong at all. He’s just looking out for somebody. What’s the issue?" One user stated.
"I bet it's cause all you AEW marks attacked him under his tweet," tweeted a person.

Darby Allin calls AEW Champion "entitled"

Darby Allin and Jack Perry were on opposite teams in the Blood and Guts match.

Before the bout on Dynamite, the former had an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, where he slammed the TNT Champion for his attitude.

"It’s pretty cool to see what Jack is doing now," said Allin, carefully choosing his words. "Everyone always says a pro wrestler is at their best when they’re themselves turned up to ten. In real life, he’s an idiot. He’s entitled. So he’s getting to be his real self. I feel like he’s been rewarded for bad behavior. I don’t care for him."
