AEW’s Grand Slam event was a big one for the company. That being said, they didn’t sell out the Arthur Ashe Stadium like they did last time around.

Chris Goldsmith recorded video with his own cell phone while at the AEW Grand Slam event. That NYC resident then posted his video online, so everyone could see the crowd shot at Grand Slam that Tony Khan didn’t want fans seeing.

It didn’t take long for AEW to find that video and target Goldsmith’s account. They sent a DMCA takedown notice on this fan’s personally recorded video, and now a treasured memory that he held from the event is tarnished

This is not the first time AEW targeted fans for sharing their videos. It is, however, the first time we have heard of Tony Khan’s company targeting a fan for posting a video that they took with their own camera. There could be others, and our DMs are always open if that is the case and fans would like to share their stories.

We’ll have to see what Tony Khan’s organization does next. It seems that they are doing their best to control every narrative, and that doesn’t stop with the way the company is ignoring any mention to CM Punk and The Elite’s suspensions.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
