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.
Chris Jericho hollered, “I’ll even whoop Lamar Jackson’s a**.” The cameras ran towards Jackson, who seemed to keep his cool and had a good time. The QB1 even re-tweeted the segment and shared a laughing emoji to express himself.

If Chris Jericho threatens to kick his a**, perhaps Jackson will jump the ropes and intervene.
Has Lamar Jackson made his case for a mega payday?
The offseason went through a lot of hype over Lamar Jackson. He is yet to receive an extension and is playing out the final year of his rookie contract. However, the QB1 and the Ravens front did not reach a mutual understanding, and the former MVP began his quest for a Lombardi. LJ is eight games down in the season. But did the QB1 make his case for a gargantuan pay?
