AEW star humiliated by Chris Jericho plots next move

Chris Jericho has been missing from AEW television since humiliating and walking out on his "students" over a week ago. One of the latter, Big Bill, revealed his intentions moving forward on Collision: Spring BreakThru.

After losing his ROH World Title to Bandido despite his best efforts at Dynasty 2025, The Nueve called out his Learning Tree stablemates Big Bill and Bryan Keith on the April 9 edition of Dynamite. He was seemingly poised to rip into his acolytes for failing to dethrone The Hurt Syndicate for the Tag Team Titles at the same PPV, but his rant was interrupted by The Redwood.

The 6 ft 10 in star informed Jericho of his and Keith's frustrations with the veteran's weekly mistreatment and disrespect towards them. This led to the inaugural AEW World Champion having a violent meltdown, telling his proteges that he was disappointed in them before storming out of the arena. On this Thursday's Collision: Spring BreakThru, Big Bill and Bryan Keith were asked for their responses to Jericho walking out on his students earlier this month.

The 38-year-old addressed the former JAS leader's recent misbehavior, claiming that he was increasingly struggling with his anger because of it. The Bad Apple suggested, however, that The Learning Tree dealt with their issues internally. He also argued that Jericho may not have left them on Dynamite had Bill not confronted him in the way he did.

The former AEW World Tag Team Champion claimed that while he was sympathetic to Keith wanting to be in Jericho's good graces, he himself did not want to follow and accept the whims and temper of the former WWE star. Regardless of their differences, Bill proposed that the duo's game plan moving forward should be to stack up wins in the ring.
