Chris Jericho was active on Twitter in the late hours of Sunday night/early Monday morning and appeared to be checking out this year’s Royal Rumble PPV.
Jericho, who denied being drunk in a reply to another tweet, talked about WWE, ROH and Impact pushing “randoms” and how AEW was only interested in a select few.

Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks, who is now an Executive Vice President with AEW, tweeted out they would not be doing the same practice at AEW events.
Let it be known that if you wanna wear a WWE shirt at Double Or Nothing or any AEW related event we won’t do this to you.
