Football and wrestling often come in for a crossover. It is a crazy moment to witness a professional athlete or wrestler watch a sport. The recent sighting was in Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite. Lamar Jackson was a front-row spectator and had all the love of the wrestling fans. But the NFL fans erupted when ‘Le Champion’ Chris Jericho imperiled the Ravens QB to get his a** whooped.

The ROH World Champion was cutting a promo while standing in the squared circle. The fans were ecstatic to see the Ravens QB, but Jericho was not. In his segment, he name-dropped the QB1. Jackson kept his cool and did not flip out like Rob Gronkowski during WrestleMania 33.
