AEW Star Claps Back at Small Ring Complaints with a Sarcastic Response

AEW’s Grand Slam: Australia has been under fire for days, with fans calling out everything from the poor seating arrangements to the noticeably smaller ring that made the show’s production feel off. While AEW higher-ups like Tony Khan, Dustin Rhodes, and Jeff Jarrett have all addressed the backlash in some form, another AEW name has now chimed in—this time, with a more sarcastic approach.

On February 18, 2025, Truth Magnum of The Outrunners took to Twitter to mock the ongoing debate about the ring size.

“BREAKING NEWS: Inside sources confirm the ring wasn’t smaller, it just looked that way when Los Outrunners were in it.”

Clearly taking a jab at the criticism, Magnum’s comment suggests that the Outrunners’ presence simply made the ring seem small—downplaying the controversy that had fans buzzing after the event aired.

The ring size issue became a major talking point after fans noticed that AEW had used a borrowed local ring rather than their standard setup, making it look drastically different on TV. The move left many questioning why AEW didn’t go the extra mile to ensure their usual production standards were met, especially for a milestone event like their first-ever show in Australia.

While some AEW talent are brushing off the complaints, fans are still debating whether this was a one-time misstep or a sign of deeper issues with AEW’s international event planning. Was the backlash overblown, or does AEW need to tighten up its approach? Let us know what you think in the comments!
