Tony Khan questions WWE booking Jinder Mahal for the title
Tony Khan questions why there’s no rage for Jinder Mahal getting a WWE World Title shot next week.
A double standard:@730hook 28-1 career record, on winning streak calls out the Champ, a logical challenge sparks online outrage
Jinder has literally lost every single match he's in for the past year, immediately gets title shot, where is the rage#AEWDynamite TOMORROW on TBS

A moral victory for USA is one win more than their World Title challenger Jinder Mahal has in the past 364 days… because it's been literally a full year since he won a match.
You really put AEW in our place getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on your tv show. Do it more often https://t.co/0kpuUsvkm1— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) January 9, 2024
I mean i know Tony is a stats nerd who thinks stats are reality, but were people really complaining about that in AEW? Ot is there something more to it that he’s neglecting to remember?
It’s literally one of most simplistic bare bones stories you can do. Fighting champion gives title shot to someone who asked for one. It ain’t the most interesting thing on the planet but at least it’s something.
And? Miz lost 87% of his matches in 2023 (similar percentage in 2021, when he beat Lashley for the championship), but he’s maintained his level of star power through it; Hook doesn’t have any. Even Mahal is more of a star than Hook, and, unlike Hook, also has a world championship to his credit …
Tony cannot help himself.
Tony’s just salty because WWE managed to book a title match without a Very Special Announcement or a tournament to determine the challenger.
Jindar is still active? Who gets the next title shot? Steve Blackman? Erik Watts?
