• Chris Jericho Says He Told AEW Wrestler To Take A Shot At WWE

While speaking on his Saturday Night Special on Facebook, AEW wrestler Chris Jericho discussed former WWE wrestler Miro’s (fka Rusev) AEW debut last week.

Below is what he said:

“Miro’s always been a great guy. He’s a very funny guy, which a lot of people might not know. I think it’s cool to have him with us and also I’m glad that he came in and that he kind of gave his mission statement. [He] mentioned, kind of indirectly, WWE. ‘Glass ceiling,’ and ‘brass ring,’ and ‘take the brass ring and shove it up your a$$’. That was my line. He couldn’t believe he’d be allowed to say it. He’s like, ‘Really? Can I say it?’ I’m like, yeah, you can say whatever you want here.’ No problems here, baby!

This is not a place that’s constantly bashing anybody else. I mean, obviously, when you come from another company – when you come from WWE, you have to acknowledge the fact that you came from there. Do you know what I mean? You have to acknowledge the fact that there’s a history there. But other than that, you say your piece and you move on. So I think it’s great to have him.

I’ve always been a fan of his and I think he’s another guy for some reason, whatever reason, kind of fell through the cracks there that they’re going to regret letting go. But we got him and we’re excited.”
