This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite aired immediately after the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Boston Celtics game on TNT, and Chris Jericho & MJF took on Top Flight in the opening match.
It appears that some people stuck around after the game to watch Dynamite, and NBA Twitter took it upon themselves to make some negative comments about Chris Jericho’s physique.
The first ever AEW World Champion recently responded to the criticism when he posted the following on Twitter:
“Awwww they are? Well either way, I guarantee I can do more timed pushups, weighted squats and incline sit-ups than all of them AND still draw record ratings. I have a really thick skin, kids…. 😘 #LeChampion”

Chris Jericho and MJF ended up defeating Top Flight in the match, and it was noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Top Flight had some ideas that were nixed by Chris Jericho.
There’s no word on which ideas were nixed, but it was described as a situation where up and comers had their ideas turned down by veterans.
