Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle invaded the ‘coronation’ of MJF and The Pinnacle on AEW Dynamite in a truck, shooting The Pinnacle with a little bit of the bubbly, a homage or ripoff to Steve Austin spraying down Vince McMahon and The Corporation back in the 90’s on Raw. AJ Styles Was ‘Ripped Off’ On AEW Dynamite.
Chris Jericho discussed WWE making excuses for NXT losing on Wednesdays to Dynamite in a new Post interview, “That’s typical WWE. It’s typical rhetoric. Because I believe that they congratulated us the first week and said, if you remember, ‘it’s a marathon, not a sprint.’ We won the marathon, right? So now it’s an imaginary war. Well then why were they saying it’s a marathon, not a sprint a year and a half ago when our first rating came out?”
“It will be there for the rest of time, it was an ‘imaginary war,’ and if it wasn’t a war why did they take Wednesday night the exact same time that we had?” Jericho said. “It was there to take away our ratings and for us not to get re-signed. Three months after that started we were re-signed to a hundreds-of millions-of-dollars extension. They failed.”
“We’ve done a great job of putting on amazing television throughout this pandemic,” Jericho said. “We never took our eyes off the storytelling, which is what it’s all about. And we never lost our cool factor either, which I think NXT and WWE lost a lot of.”
