Chris Jericho never shies from taking a shot at WWE
As can be seen above, Jericho added the DemoGod hashtag at the end of his tweet. Jericho recently popularized the moniker on an episode of Dynamite that eventually beat NXT in the rating war in that particular week.
Rey Mysterio is someone who usually stays away from controversy, contrary to Jericho. Regarded as one of the greatest heels of all time, Jericho is simply doing his job, as per his fans, while many others aren't happy with him continuously taking shots at WWE.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
