After last night’s special “Bash At The Beach” episode of AEW Dynamite, SmackDown Superstar King Baron Corbin took a major shot at AEW by posting the following on Twitter:

“Winner gets a title shot so…..forget covers, everybody get pops, spot spot spot dive dive dive spot spot spot spot dive dive dive dive spot dive spot dive spot group spot group spot dive, get your sh*t in, neck beards ‘this is awesome’.”

This led to Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer replying the following:

“You look really smart when your own company’s opener was the exact same style. Please teach Levesque about his promotion, fans and style to save the business. But hey, you’d be the guy mad when they started shooting jumpers instead of set shots.”

Meltzer also went on to tweet the following:

You're dreaming. They were the exact same thing. Next thing you're going to do is say Tanahashi's matches lack psychology and are spotfests compared to Cena, whose matches were actually laid out in advance to be nothing but spotfests. https://t.co/FsqJplTDHG
