Fans on social media did not react kindly to the tweet. Many took to Twitter to express their disappointment that AEW would post the graphic of a franchise whose author has been repeatedly called out for her past remarks about the trans community.

J.K. Rowling, the author of the original series of Harry Potter novels, has come under fire in recent years for her comments regarding the trans community. Check out AEW’s tweet below.
