Just a week ago, the entire wrestling Twitter was in utter chaos when Elon Musk took away the blue tick mark from every celebrity’s account. While Chris Jericho also lost his blue tick mark, his troubles aren’t over with social media accounts. Another social media platform TikTok is making it hard for him to verify his account.
Apart from Twitter, there is another big platform, TikTok with a large user base. The social media giant has been denying Jericho his verification mark. After struggling to get the verified tick mark, now Jericho’s personal account has also been banned. But Jericho is not keeping quiet.

Banning and not verifying Jericho’s will only lead to scammers tricking fans into giving them money and favors. This is one of the biggest reasons that both AEW and WWE wrestlers called out Elon Musk for his Twitter verification decision. But what else could Jericho want from a TikTok verification?
Why does Chris Jericho want TikTok verification?
So, you might be wondering why Jericho is complaining about getting verified on TikTok. Well, the answer is simple, Jericho is much more than just a pro wrestler now. Not only does he have a band, Fozzy, but he also has a podcast called, Talk is Jericho. These ventures need to be publicized and to do so, the best way in the modern world, is to post them online.

Social media traction is a big factor in wrestling as well. Also his other accounts, Talk is Jericho and Fozzy on TikTok, are both verified as well. It is baffling that TikTok denied such a big wrestling star his verification mark even when he asked for it. Add to that, no one can figure out why TikTok banned his account as well.
