Chris Jericho seemingly took a subtle jab at a top WWE Superstar during his segment tonight on Dynamite. This would be Cody Rhodes, as the Learning Tree referenced one of his quotes from a recent interview.
Jericho did this while addressing the faction's current situation heading into Forbidden Door III. After Big Bill and Bryan Keith discussed the attack from Samoa Joe, Hook, and Katsuyori Shibata, Chris went on the mic to talk to the Buffalo, New York crowd.
Chris Jericho then talked about the one reason he was in AEW: being there for the young guys. This was a reference to Cody Rhodes' recent quote.
In his recent interview on Behind the Turnbuckle, Rhodes talked about how certain legends or big names play coy and say," 'I'm just here for the young guys," but end up having hidden agendas. For Cody, this was an instant red flag, as he'd rather have them be transparent about their intentions.
Chris Jericho's current gimmick as the Learning Tree seems to be what Cody Rhodes described in the interview, and the former has been greatly embodying this persona. Jericho has successfully swayed two stars to stand by his side, and whether he'll end up brainwashing more remains to be seen.
