Was Jericho firing shots at Cain Velasquez this week on AEW?
Jack Swagger made his way to AEW last week and was their big debutant as part of their first live show on TNT, much like how WWE allowed Cain Velasquez to debut on WWE TV as part of their first live show on FOX.

The former UFC star has stepped into a feud with Brock Lesnar, but both men have been defeated inside the Octagon. Velasquez has only suffered three defeats in his UFC career much like Brock Lesnar who has become WWE's poster boy.
Jake Hagar has an MMA background as well, having fought two matches in Bellator and won both via submission. Chris Jericho decided to touch on this record and seemingly fired shots at many other MMA fighters when he introduced him to the AEW audience this week by bringing his undefeated record into play.

"Jake Hagar is the most feared MMA fighter on the planet today, and guess what? He's undefeated and that's a shoot. That makes him the toughest man in AEW, that makes him the toughest man in the entire professional wrestling business, baby."
