Are fans now turning on Tony Khan?
Tony Khan is the driving force behind AEW

AEW is now officially the home of wrestling legends Sting and Jeff Jarrett, and fans are already speculating about a clash between the two. However, not everyone on social media was pleased to see another veteran wrestler join the promotion.

Sting and Double J have a storied history with each other, dating back to their time in WCW and TNA/IMPACT Wrestling. Following Jarrett's AEW signing, there is a possibility of him locking horns with The Icon for one last match.

Fans were unfortunately not too thrilled by what Jarrett's AEW debut likely meant, as he attacked Sting's protege Darby Allin on Dynamite. Some Twitter users pointed out old statements made by the promotion, questioning Tony Khan's decision to sign another legend.

Double J is clearly in good shape, and with the 63-year-old Sting not missing a step, the two could renew their rivalry soon.

However, Jeff Jarrett has been announced as the new AEW Director of Business Development, meaning he could focus on his backstage responsibilities instead of wrestling.
