Jericho Rips WWE & Brock Lesnar
Since announcing he has signed with All Elite Wrestling, Chris Jericho is not holding his tongue as it pertains to other promotions, and following the Royal Rumble PPV he fired several shots at Brock Lesnar and WWE.
Taking aim at The Beast, Jericho told him to lose his gut, then made it clear to promotions such as Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor and WWE that AEW is not interested in taking their talents, with the exception of about 6 to 8 stars.

“Intimidation and fear goes a LONG way in our business guys,” Tweeted Y2J. “But let’s be honest, Brock Lesnar needs to pull up his pants and lose the gut… the dream is over dude. I don’t play by the script…”
As noted, Jericho had been negotiating with both Impact Wrestling and WWE prior to announcing his signing with AEW, and when it came down to making a decision, it appears as if AEW ended up making Y2J the best offer, as he noted during a recent episode of his podcast that it is the best pro wrestling deal he has ever signed.
