Ever since WWE announced that they were going to overlap AEW’s Rampage with their extend SmackDown called “Supersize”. The president of AEW Tony Khan had been fuming. Khan believed that it was an attempt to overshadow their show and did not hold back while talking about it.
He openly claimed that he cannot wait to beat WWE’s main show come Friday night. Now that the ratings are out Khan must be pleased to have gotten the better of WWE in a key demo. However, overall ratings of WWE are still better and AEW has a long road ahead of them before they surpass WWE.
