#2 Chris Jericho slams The Revival for using a variation of the Codebreaker

This happened in 2014 when Chris Jericho was on a WWE hiatus. Around the same time, FTR fka The Revival started performing a move that looked like Jericho's Codebreaker. It was essentially a Flapjack-Codebreaker variation, and they kept doing the move even after Jericho made his return to WWE TV. Jericho went on to post a tweet dubbing The Revival as "indie guys" who were disrespectful towards him.

Cash Wheeler didn't take this kindly and proceeded to apologize to Marufuji, a wrestler who had been using the move way before Chris Jericho adopted it while wrestling in WWE. After their WWE exit earlier this year, The Revival appeared on Chris Jericho's podcast, and the trio discussed the incident in detail. Jericho and The Revival made it clear that there were no hard feelings on both sides, and all was forgotten. Today, both Chris Jericho and FTR are a part of All Elite Wrestling and are doing well for themselves in the promotion.
