"Sorry about getting your bell rung tho" - Chris Jericho breaks character to send a message to major AEW star

Former AEW Champion Chris Jericho recently took to Instagram to share a message regarding his fight with a major star.

The Ocho recently went up against Keith Lee in a singles match on Dynamite. The size difference certainly gave The Limitless One an advantage. However, interference from Swerve Strickland allowed Jericho to get the upper hand, leading to Lee being defeated.

Taking to Twitter, Chris Jericho broke his heel character to compliment Keith Lee for his performance. While the message was quite sincere, the last line was unmistakably sarcastic as The Ocho teased the former WWE Superstar.

“Well @realkeithlee beat the living hell out of me last night on #AEWDynamite…and I loved every minute of it! Keith was a great opponent and STRONG AF…but I still beat him!! Be happy to lock horns again anytime Big Man. Sorry about getting your bell rung tho.”

A fan recently praised Jericho for being willing to work with everyone and do what was best for the business. However, the JAS leader had a short reply that seemingly hinted at his disdain for The Second City Saint.
