Tony Khan references Triple H while sending a message to AEW fans ahead of Rampage: Grand Slam 

Tony Khan recently referenced Triple H in a tweet he sent out a few hours before AEW Rampage: Grand Slam began airing.

Referencing NXT supremo Triple H's comments, Khan tweeted that two years ago, AEW's competitors believed the rating game was a marathon, not a sprint. He further stated that while WWE has been around for 40 years, Khan's promotion has covered more ground than any other company had in the first two years of existence.

Furthermore, Tony Khan urged AEW fans to tune into Rampage: Grand Slam and make it the most-watched show on cable on Friday night. Check out the AEW President's tweet below:

"<2 years ago, our competitors said this is a marathon, not a sprint. They were right. They’ve also had a head start of >40 years & in <2 years we’ve made up more ground from scratch than anyone in wrestling history. Let’s FN GO TONIGHT. Let’s make #AEWRampage 1 on cable TONIGHT!" said Tony Khan.

In an earlier tweet, Tony Khan thanked fans for making AEW Dynamite the most-watched show on cable for the past five weeks. He also hyped Rampage: Grand Slam cards, saying they had their most star-studded card ever put up on TV. Check out his tweet below:

"Thank you for making #AEWDynamite the #1 show on cable for the past 5 Wednesdays! #AEWRampageGrand Slam is on TNT TONIGHT! It’s an incredible card Tonight! It’s our most star-studded 2 hour tv ever with @CMPunk’s return to tv wrestling & so many Big stars in Big matches TONIGHT!" tweeted Tony Khan.
