AEW fired shots at WWE regarding their attendance figures
Attendance figures are a huge deal to WWE since the company keeps track of all the records that they are able to create in arenas all over the world. There was a little bit of controversy a few years ago when it was reported that WWE set an attendance record for WrestleMania 32 at over 100,000.

This was later stated to have been pushed up a little bit more than the real attendance, but a few years later at WrestleMania 34, there were reports that the company had done the same thing again.
Interestingly, last night as part of AEW Double or Nothing, The Elite announced that they had broken the record for the MGM Stadium with 20,000 fans which was an obvious dig at WWE and the fact that they are always inflating their attendance figures to create records.

This was also a dig at the fact that attendance figures for WWE over the past few months have been on a slide whilst AEW didn't have any issues last night.
