"Count your blessings" - AEW star Chris Jericho takes a shot at former WWE Champion following Rampage
AEW star Chris Jericho took to social media to throw a jab at Bryan Danielson following last night's Rampage.
The Influencer and The American Dragon were involved in an off-air brawl, along with their respective teammates. Their groups, Jericho Appreciation Society and Blackpool Combat Club, are in a heated rivalry that started on the May 11 episode of Dynamite.
After Friday's show, The Demo God took to Twitter to air his frustrations as he posted Tony Khan's tweet thanking the people who helped break the melee. The AEW President also mentioned Danielson's incident when his leg got stuck between the ramp and the ring.
Jericho immediately fired a heated message on The American Dragon, saying he was just lucky.
"Count your blessings. @bryandanielson is lucky I didn’t throw a fire in his face…..cause I’m a #WIZARD!" Jericho tweeted.

Tensions between the two stables have been increasing as the May 29 event approaches. As the build-up to their match continues, it will be interesting to see if there are any other tricks up the sleeves of JAS.
