All Elite Wrestling’s first show cum PPV event Double or Nothing was a huge success. It was trending all around the social media just like WWE events hinting that the brand has arrived to take things over. The show earned global attention and critical acclamation, as well as promising a lot to come in future for the AEW brand.

WWE superstars were not out of this trend, as well. They have not only watched this show conducted by All Elite Wrestling but also reacted on the social media, publicly. It’s something unlikely for the employees under WWE banner as they have to stay away from rival brands or else there could be repercussions coming from them.
In this case, All Elite Wrestling was able to break the distinction and let all the pro-wrestling lovers react over the show. It included several WWE employees like Sasha Banks (who is reportedly willing to join AEW leaving the WWE), Matt Hardy, Peyton Royce, Karl Anderson, and Heath Slater. This may have infuriated WWE’s owner as claimed by a reliable source on his reports.

Dave Meltzer revealed on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio that the entire McMahon family is fuming on those superstars who reacted on the All Elite Wrestling show. The McMahons are ‘ungodly furious’ with the way their talents have praised the Double or Nothing pay-per-view event. Here’s a sneak peek of the backstage reactions from the WWE officials,
“The only thing I can say is that everyone in the McMahon family has to be ungodly furious at all those people who were tweeting because it wasn’t just like Sasha Banks because when she did it it was like, ‘Okay I get this.’ You know or Karl Anderson, Peyton Royce has got to, you know. I wasn’t so overt with Peyton Royce, but it can’t be looked upon well. Matt Hardy, to a degree (he can get away with it) but, they can’t be happy with their own talent tweeting about the rival show and putting it over.”
There’s no doubt that All Elite Wrestling was able to put over a quality show with multiple surprises. They have openly taken shots to the WWE hinting that the days for the company’s universal ruling may be nearing to an end. So it’s pretty natural that the McMahons will act in an apprehensive manner. They are entering a war with the new rival brand for years to come.
