It seems Jericho will feud with Andretti for a while after an upset the AEW rookie pulled on the wrestling legend. However, it seems some fans weren’t a fan of the segment on recent Dynamite.
Wrestling Fans troll AEW for Chris Jericho and Action Andretti’s fireball segment
This backstage segment between Jericho and Andretti was surely a big stepping stone for the AEW rookie. This feud is going forward and will give Andretti mainstream success early on in the company. Shockingly, some of the fans thought the segment on the recent Dynamite episode was too forward.
The fans shared their reaction on Twitter and also trolled AEW for the same. They pointed out several setbacks in the segment.
It seems a few fans didn’t like the segment.
He gets a fireball. He doesn't even scream. Schiavone barely says a word about it and doesn't even call for help. No one else in the back calls for help. This was not good.

This is absolute garbage and everyone involved should be embarrassed. So pathetic.

Shots were fired at Chris Jericho for throwing fireball at Action Andretti.
.@IAmJericho You can't just set people on fire. That is a low quality Profesional Wrestling maneuver.
