WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has seemingly referenced a top AEW star and his faction during this week's edition of WWE NXT. While on commentary, the veteran interestingly used the words "Learning Tree,"

These words have recently been associated with Chris Jericho and his current faction. This could have been intentional coming from the Hall of Famer.

The former AEW World Champion has adopted this new gimmick of being a "mentor" to others, calling himself The Learning Tree, where everyone can get knowledge. The men under his stable are called his branches, with Big Bill being Redwood, and Bryan Keith being "The Bad Apple".

With Chris Jericho as the Learning Tree being the type to try to make an appearance on every AEW show in hopes of garnering TV time and making things all about himself, it is interesting that he has even made his way to the other company.

As the FTW Champion, he has also made everything about himself in the ring, and because of his branches, he has been untouchable after winning the belt. His next challenger will be his former ally, Minoru Suzuki, who hates his new persona and wishes to take his title away from him.
