Some fans are just never satisfied. Despite getting pretty much every result they wanted at WrestleMania 35 - including top title victories for Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins - a segment of the crowd on last night's Raw still decided to hijack the main event involving the two popular new champs with chants of "AEW".

Kingston and Rollins met at the close of Monday's show in a 'Winner Takes All' contest, which devolved into a standard tag match following the interruption of The Bar. There was no Randy Orton, no John Cena, no Roman Reigns, and yet some fans thought this was a good opportunity to ignore the match in favour of self-indulgence.

After the show, AEW seemingly responded to the support they received in the Barclays Center, posting a tweet of GIF showing Cody cupping his ears:

Simply hilarious. AEW, who've positioned themselves as the for-the-people renegade product, run the risk of coming across a bit like t*ssers in implicitly endorsing displays of disrespect during a match between two hard-working fan favourites. Although those in attendance are welcome to chant anything they like (within reason), supporting All Elite really shouldn't mean spoiling WWE for other fans, though we get it's part of the whole 'counter cultural' thing.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
