SmackDown Live star Tye Dillinger has had a rather interesting week on social media. Recently, Monday Night RAW star Nia Jax took issue with women of color being left off a recent social media graphic for WWE’s female stars. Dillinger took an indirect shot at Jax’s comments in the following Tweet:
“ALL the WWE ladies had a great year but these ones had some very captivating moments in 2018! And, if you’re all #BooBoo face about being left off the list despite being on TV ALL the time….maybe spend more time on the craft instead of social media. Congratulations ladies”

“Isn’t he strongly opinionated about everything? To each their own. Do what’s best for YOU, not what others may think is best for you.”

“This is the same old same old. I’ve considered plenty. I control what I can. Attitude, physique, mindset and work ethic. I know how hard I work, and I’m well aware no one gets to see that a lot. I’m sorry for that but you’re asking me for things out of my hands. Enjoy the show.”

“I appreciate all the support. I really do. And it’s not patronizing to make a valid point. As much as I appreciate both positive and negative comments here, at the end of the day, I KNOW I work there and that I’ve made it. That is all that matters.”

“Agreed, knowing your worth is a good thing. Complacency does exists but perhaps not with those you assume it would. Being self aware is important. It could be the most important. I’m not the best wrestler, I’m not sought after or hand picked. I’m just me. Take it or leave it.”

AEW Rally
Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks have already signed to the new venture. AEW is being funded by NFL team the Jacksonville Jaguars’ co-owner Shahid Khan. A rally has even been scheduled for the launch of AEW.
It will be held on Tuesday, January 8th at the TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida. This is the same stadium where the Jaguars play their home NFL games during the regular season. In an interesting twist, WWE SmackDown Live will also be taking place in Jacksonville that night. However, SDL will be going down from the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
What do you make of Dillinger’s comments regarding AEW?
