AEW has taken more shots at WWE than WWE has taken at AEW, Especially on air. Neither company are innocent when it comes to taking shots. What HHH said wasn't wrong, and imo wasn't taken a shot at AEW. Both sides can be right in this. People who say this isn't a big deal and not dig at AEW, are right imo. And people who say that Kahn should take up for his company if he felt it was a dig, are also correct imo. Lol, this. They both seem like they passively aggressively loathe the other, but good look getting any tribalistic fan on either side seeing that. Yep,

Look at Khan, defending his pissant company* *Credit: Triple H IMO, AEW's digs at WWE been more numerous but WWE's digs at AEW are more pointed. Either way, it's equal parts funny and slightly pathetic on both sides. the Pissant thing was literally him ribbing his friend.

And that he managed to insult AEW on live TV was just a happy coincidence, I'm sure. There were a million ways Triple H could have ribbed his friend that didn't involve taking digs at AEW. .

There were a million ways Triple H could have ribbed his friend that didn't involve taking digs at AEW. . He said “I don’t even work here,”. It’s not like HHH goes out of his way. AEW came up organically. If Billy didn’t say that he wouldn’t have made the pissant comment. Same here. He was asked directly about Cody leaving. It’s also about tone. “Pissant” was meant to be comical and “secondary” was actually him just trying to refer to AEW as “not WWE” and not “the shitty company” I know I’m gonna getta heat and I can take it, but this is really becoming a mountain out of a molehill because of tribalism. AEW has taken their fair jabs.

AEW has taken their fair jabs. I agree with you. I literally said in my original comment that it was on both sides. I was objecting to the idea that Triple H meant absolutely nothing when he said that.

The thing about the AEW vs WWE shots is that WWE inherently look worse, even doing it less often or less pointedly, because they are so obviously the big dogs of the industry
If McDonald's show up in your town and start shit-talking the local burger place that has been there for decades, people are going to think that's probably a little unfair
AEW is obviously going from strength to strength so it's a much smaller gap than that example, but like. WWE *were* the entire industry until five years ago in the eyes of literally millions. Literally anyone WWE takes shots at, they are punching down and being petty. It's like protesting too much. 'We're not threatened. How could we be threatened. They're nothing. NOTHING. Why did you bring that up? What do you mean I brought it up?'

And lets be real, until AEW manipulate athletic commissions and proximity clause WWE out of territories and venues (like WWE has done to literally every potential competitor and UFC), none of the shots compare.

All I know is with someone like HHH, I just never liked the guy since the reign of terror era and he has had a history of making subtle potshots in the past. Kind of will admit, I never got into NXT because of him.

Kind of will admit, I never got into NXT because of him. I was never a huge fan of the guy in ring or out ("Am I @#$%ing going over?!", the braindead and outright offensive walkout angle in 2011, etc.), but figured he was putting on a solid show when NXT was at its height and it was cool that the wrestlers seem to like him. However, I still don't know how much of the whole "international NXT branches" thing was his idea or Vince's, but that was what made me say "If Trips came up with this, man, @#$% that guy."
