Chris Jericho reveals Triple H did not like him at first

Before Chris Jericho made his name in WWE, he was part of WCW. He moved to the Stamford-based promotion in 1999 and went on to have a great career.

He recently revealed that Triple H wasn't particularly fond of him due to his WCW ties and stated that he wasn't friendly with him at first. In an interview with Inside the Ropes, the AEW star said:

“Triple H and I didn't get along back at that point in time; there was a lot of animosity for real because I had the audacity to come to WWE and people didn't like it. They didn't want WCW guys coming to WWE 'cause they thought we were inferior.”

The two have since moved on and even had great feuds during their time in WWE. It will be interesting to see if Triple H is interested in bringing back the AEW star for a final run.
