Jericho’s tweet was in response to a report that recently came out, which stated that WWE Management thought AEW’s Blood & Guts match set the wrestling business back 30 years (tap here to read more).

According to Ringsidenews, Nick Khan (WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer) made the deal with Warner Bros to promote Army Of The Dead on WWE pay-per-view and WWE got paid in 7 figures for this!

While a lot of WWE’s fans complained about this, this segment involving zombies was trending on Social Media, which resulted in Batista’s new movie getting a lot of publicity.
