In a recognizable development, Maxwell seemed as if he intentionally hurt the WWE fans compared to the AEW fans as if to stay in his character.

He has been a big fan of all Wrestling companies. In one of the interviews a few weeks ago, he spoke against tribalism. Hence, many felt the criticism to be far-fetched.
