Chris Jericho is one of the most popular wrestlers at the AEW. People always love seeing him in action whenever he enters the ring for a fight or an announcement. The former WWE superstar gained a lot of fame during his WWE career and currently uses his charm for the benefit of Tony Khan’s company.
Apart from being a top-class wrestler Jericho is also a music artist. His entrance song has been created by his own band, Fozzy. Jericho recently announced that he will be performing the song along with his bandmates for his upcoming match at AEW All In. The news, however, has not been well-received by fans. People are ridiculing this endeavor and have laughed Jericho off on social media.

Fozzy is an Atlanta-based American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1999, the year before the Y2K millennium bug was most feared.

Chris Jericho is the lead vocalist of the band. The band plays around with several experimental sounds.
It bounces between themes and inspirations from heavy metal, hard rock, and alternative metal. Chris Jericho always makes his entrance in the arena with the music of his own band. His entrance track is called Judas.

Several fans said that this will now give them the perfect opportunity to leave the stands for a bathroom break.
Ugh. No one asked for this, Chris.
You just want your band to play a stadium.
Totally self-serving and unnecessary.
