AEW star Chris Jericho calls out ringside Ravens’ Lamar Jackson at Baltimore show
Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson is likely used to trash-talking on the football field, but coming from a wrestler in the ring? Not so much.
AEW star Chris Jericho called out Jackson, who was sitting ringside at the promotion’s show in Baltimore Wednesday night.
Jericho stood inside the ring alongside fellow AEW wrestlers Daniel Garcia and Jake Hager as he prepared to face a mystery opponent for his ROH Title Open Challenge.
“I’d even whoop Lamar Jackson’s ass!” the Canadian wrestler proclaimed to the audience.
AEW cameras sprinted to capture Jackson’s reaction who was seen laughing and burying his head into his hands after Jericho challenged him.
“Lamar looks nervous,” AEW announcer Tazz interjected on the televised broadcast.
Jackson, who has the Ravens in first place entering Week 9, reacted to the namedrop with a laughing emoji later on social media.
Rapper Rick Ross was another surprise AEW Dynamite fans got to see at the Chesapeake Bay Arena.
Ross sat ringside with Jackson before he got in on the action.
The Miami-based artist appeared in a backstage segment with Swerve Strickland, where Ross endorsed the wrestler as the “biggest wrestler” in the industry.
“I’m here for one reason and one reason only, I want to make this clear: making sure Swerve is not only the biggest wrestler in the industry but also the largest recording artist in the world,” Ross said. “That’s why we’re here; we’re celebrating today and that’s why we’re here. The biggest.”
