NFL player Damar Hamlin shockingly collapsed on the field during the recent game between the Buffalo Bills and the Bengals. Many notables took to social media to pray for Hamlin's health, while others began donating funds to his charity, Chris Jericho, falling amongst the latter.

Fans overwhelmingly had a positive response to the former Y2J's actions and praised him online. Jericho has notably been very charitable when causes attract his attention, such as the independent wrestler who snapped both of his legs back in 2020.

In response to a fan citing Brian Last's recent criticisms of Chris Jericho, the veteran himself sarcastically responded and tagged all the stars he's recently feuded with.

"Ugh u & @greatbrianlast have figured out my evil plan! I can't wait to bury @starksmanjones, @ActionAndretti, @boy_myth_legend, @DarbyAllin, @Sting & every other young talent in @aew. So I can achieve my goal of KILLING the company! But don't tell anybody... It's our little secret!" Jericho Tweeted.
