#8 When Chris Jericho told Matt Cardona to leave WWE

When AEW fans started chanting “We, The People!” at Jake Hager (fka WWE’s Jack Swagger), Chris Jericho quickly shut down the chants by saying his on-screen ally’s former WWE catchphrase was a bad idea from a bad creative team.

Speaking on his Saturday Night Special on YouTube, the first AEW World Champion used Hager as an example when discussing the future of Matt Cardona (fka WWE’s Zack Ryder) in AEW.

Jericho said he told Cardona years ago that he is far too good to be a punching bag in WWE, and he is happy that the one-time WWE Intercontinental Champion now has a chance to reinvent himself after leaving the company.

#7 Charlotte Flair would like Alexa Bliss as the fifth “Horsewoman”

Charlotte Flair recently began sending personalized messages to her fans on the Cameo app. While some fans simply want a shout-out or a birthday message, others have been asking the 12-time Women’s Champion questions related to WWE.

One fan wanted to know who Flair would like as a manager if WWE’s Four Horsewomen group – herself, Becky Lynch, Bayley and Sasha Banks – could have a fifth member.

She replied by saying that Alexa Bliss would be well suited to the role, not only because she can wrestle but because she is good on the microphone.
