"Don’t say that out loud" - WWE veteran takes a massive dig at Chris Jericho's recent match in AEW
According to WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg, Chris Jericho's highly anticipated "barbed wire everywhere" match was apparently disappointing.
This week's edition of Dynamite featured the Jericho Appreciation Society leader battling Eddie Kingston in a singles match. As stipulated, Jericho's allies were locked up in a shark cage with the keys held by Ruby Soho at ringside. Amid the brutal match, Tay Conti ran out followed by Anna-Jay and attacked Soho. They took the keys and attempted to open the lock to free the JAS from the shark cage.
However, the 27-year-old star apparently had trouble unlocking the cage, which prompted the JAS members to simply escape through the cage bars. This detail was recently bought up by Road Dogg.
The WWE veteran took to Twitter to take a dig at the botched spot.
"So they paid attention to that detail but then forgot to have the girl rehearse opening the cage."

Replying to a fan comment which called the entire match a disaster, Road Dogg further made a cheeky statement about AEW.
"Don’t say that out loud. They’ll come for you."
Check out the tweet here:
While Chris Jericho won the violent bout, Eddie Kingston seemingly had the last laugh when he threw the the Wizard on to a web of barbed wire at ringside post-match.
A number of fans agreed with WWE veteran Road Dogg's perspective
Road Dogg was not the only one disappointed with Chris Jericho's match. His sentiment was apparently shared by a number of fans.
@BrianRDJames @BrianGulish Wouldn't have helped much anyway, that was a rough one. I think the low point was Jericho's chair shots.
@BrianRDJames @BrianGulish That entire match was a disaster
@BrianRDJames There were a few off spots in that match. I’m not a fan of the death match/barbed wire, etc., but that’s just me.
However, a Twitter user also believed that the WWE veteran was simply 'salty' about not being hired by AEW, despite his recent interest in the promotion.
@BrianRDJames @MercieWitAMouth @BrianGulish Lol so bitter they didn’t offer you a gig

While many expected this match to be the end of Chris Jericho's feud with Eddie Kingston, it seems unclear whether the rivalry will continue further in the coming weeks or not.
