Chris Jericho takes shot at Triple H
In an interview with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Chris Jericho gave his reaction to what Triple H had to say. A Vince McMahon To Sign Top AEW Star
He said:
“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? 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.”
AEW Dynamite had over 1 million viewers in each of its first two weeks after NXT moved to Tuesdays. Dynamite had been winning the majority of weeks in total viewership and key demographic numbers.
He further added:
“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?”
NXT recently moved to Tuesdays and AEW had been doing even better ever since.
