Chris Jericho recently made a heel turn when he hit his tag team partner AJ Styles with the Codebreaker. No pun intended, but so far his heel run has been phenomenal. He’s been cutting some great promos and we’ve all been talking about that savage sign tear he performed on Saturday at Roadblock. But that wasn’t the only savage thing he did before the weekend ended.
Apparently during Sunday’s WWE live event in Erie, PA, a fan got out of line and touched Jericho twice. Jericho didn’t appreciate it so he slapped the woman’s drink out of her hand like the epic villain he is.
The woman started raising a stink about the encounter on Twitter and Chris Jericho wasn’t shy about giving her a response. He just straight up told her that she got what she deserved, and then the woman told him that she loves him even more now.
The twitter rant started something like this.
Hey @RealJackSwagger I am still waiting for my drink you promised me after that jackass @IAmJericho knocked it out of my hands. #WWEErie

A fan then interjected, telling the woman that Jericho was only doing what he does best.

That’s when Chris Jericho himself chimed with this little gem.

So to recap, he slapped a woman’s drink out of her hand, told her she deserved it, and then she told him she loved him. Did Chris Jericho just perform some sort of Jedi mind trick via Twitter?
