As previously noted, BTSport.com reporter Ariel Helwani described his interview with AEW President Tony Khan from the fall of 2022 as “one of the most frustrating” of his career. Helwani ended up appearing on camera during the February 17th 2023 edition of WWE Smackdown which led to Khan tweeting the following…

“You’re a fraud Ariel Helwani. You’re as legitimate of a reporter as Tony Schiavone. #AEWRampage”

Here was Helwani’s response…

“Thanks for watching, old friend! Can’t wait for our next chat. (Also, don’t listen to the snowman, Schiavone. You’re a legend in my books.)”

Khan replied with, “Good luck with the unbiased journalism.”
