One of these veterans is Chris Jericho. The Ocho joined the Jacksonville-based company early on, He has been in some of the most intense matches in the promotion since then.
While Y2J is carving a niche for himself in the promotion, he's proved that he has no animosity against his former employer - WWE. That fact was out there in the open when Jericho had a scathing reply to a tweet that claimed that his latest "Talk is Jericho" podcast episode was all about burying WWE.
"That is 100% misinformed bull***t," wrote Jericho.

While AEW lost that ratings war against NXT, the tweets were a bitter experience for fans of the sport.
