But in July 2012, the AEW Star made headlines for all the wrong reasons at a WWE Live event in Brazil.

Grabbing the Brazilian flag, Y2J kicked it around the ring, a poor sign of disrespect to a nation so proud of its heritage.

As pressure grew on WWE to deal some sort of punishment, Jericho was suspended for 30 days, forcing him to miss a match against Randy Orton at No Way Out.

“I made a bad judgment call in the course of entertaining [WWE] fans in Brazil,” Jericho told WWE.com. “I apologized to the people in the crowd for showing disrespect.”
“It was a bad move,” Jericho added. “I did it with [our] fans’ entertainment in mind and I’ll accept the consequences for that."
