AEW star Chris Jericho was at the receiving end of body shaming online

Former WWE and current AEW star Chris Jericho was at the centre of a lot of body shaming jokes on Thursday as he featured on this week’s AEW Dynamite.

Jericho and MJF faced Darius and Dante Martin (Top Flight) and came away with the win. However, that match, the first of many on the Holiday Bash special, was also being watched by many newcomers.

The episode aired directly after an enthralling NBA Season Premiere between Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. A lot of basketball fans stuck around and watched AEW, presumably for the first time in their lives.

Chris Jericho (C) is one of the biggest names in AEW.

Many were left shocked at seeing Chris Jericho put on some weight. What transpired after that was a barrage of memes and jokes aimed at the former AEW World Champion.

Some mocked his “dad bod” while others lamented how his body had changed so drastically since his WWE days.
