Tony Khan hits back at speculation over former WWE superstars clears the air about massive AEW title change

Tony Khan has shut down speculation regarding a recent title change Tony Khan addressed speculation regarding a potentially invalid title win for AEW Tag-Team Champions, Swerve Strickland and . In the main event of this week's Dynamite, the Young Bucks defended their belts from Team Taz (Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks) and Swerve In Our Glory in a three-way match. Surprisingly, Swerve Strickland was able to Ricky Starks winning world titles in the process. However, there has been an argument against the pinfall attempt. By considering everything, Ricky Starks was not the legal man inside the ring in the final moments of the fight. The referee seemingly overlooked this and did a three-count for Swerve's win. Amidst rumors of this being a seed planted for a future rematch, Tony Khan took to Twitter and has shut down the hypothesis and declared the referee's decision as final. "That speculation’s BS! As always in + per generally accepted pro wrestling practices: the referee’s decision is FINAL! Congratulations to the new World Tag Team Champions & ! See you all for Friday TOMORROW @ 10pm ET/9pm CT/10pm PT." Check out the Tweet below: That speculation’s BS!
