• Chris Jericho Takes A Shot At Names Of NXT Wrestlers
Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho likes to take shots at AEW’s main rival brand, NXT, from time to time.
This time, he targeted the names the black and gold brand allots to its talent.
During a Q/A on his YouTube channel, Le Champion said that NXT wrestlers have ridiculous soap opera names:
“I always have a tendency to call him Juice. I think of Orange Cassidy and Juice Robinson, I get them mixed up. So I say Juice Cassidy and Orange Robinson, or Orange Juice and Robinson Cassidy. That would be a great name for an NXT guy. They’ve got those ridiculous soap opera names.”
