Chris Jericho has refuted the notion that he has been burying WWE ever since he joined AEW nearly five years ago.
On Twitter, a fan claimed that Jericho is usually “slagging” WWE off and that his “Talk is Jericho” podcast is “literally burying WWE these days.”
This earned a response from Jericho himself, who branded the claim he buries WWE as misinformation.
I assume this is a joke as this is the first time @IAmJericho has ever said anything good about wwe in an interview. Normally, it's just slagging them off, and making out his whole run was worse than his wcw run. His podcast is literally burying wwe these days 😂 https://t.co/UVrVOP4wiL

Jericho became AEW’s first World Champion in 2019. He and Kenny Omega currently have an opportunity for the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
While Jericho thinks the claim is wrong, he has hit out at WWE. Following Jon Moxley’s AEW debut, Jericho told ESPN that many WWE stars were ready to leave. He said,
“I have heard from a lot of people who are working there saying, ‘I can’t wait to do my version in X amount of months.”
