Cody showed his professionalism and sporting spirit by stating that the wrestlers in the top spot deserve to be there as AEW is a fiercely competitive place.
Chris Jericho replies to Cody
Cody thinks he has it rough, but wait till he hears what the ‘Le Champion‘ has to say for himself. On April 24, 2021, Jericho tweeted out a reply to Cody by saying, “I haven’t been in the rankings for a year!! Where’s #PineapplePete when you need him…..“

In the tweet, Jericho states that he hasn’t been in the rankings for a year, whilst also taking a dig at Pineapple Pete. Chris Jericho’s latest AEW match was a Tag Team Championship match with MJF against Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson. The match ended with a victory for ‘The Young Bucks’.
Jericho’s Age Factor
On the outside, it might look as if Jericho is taking the rankings playfully, but the reality is that Jericho being 50 years old cannot be a full-time wrestler.

Since he cannot fight on a weekly basis, his chances of getting to the top five rankings are tough. Comparing him to other wrestlers who can fight in dark matches to earn points and move up is, hence, slightly unfair. Jericho is just not at that level anymore.
Regardless of this, Chris Jericho is still one of the finest wrestlers in the world. Wrestling at 50 years of age is something not every wrestler can do and certainly not amateurs like us. So, we’re not going to take a dig at his age.
