At the same time, anything referencing the show that isn’t outwardly negative could be seen as promotion, so I’ll choose to believe this was a real moment between two brothers that Fox capitalized on while the show was airing.
That’s not hard to believe because fights between brothers can be far more brutal, so maybe we should all be thankful this one didn’t go over the top.
Of course, the skeptic in me thinks that this whole exchange is a manufactured jab made explicitly to promote Ultimate Tag and get it trending.
