WWE stars often become victims of social media hatred. Getting trolled online has become so frequent that superstars often ignore hate comments, simply because they don’t want to indulge in trivial matters. However, when certain fans cross a line, it forces the stars to speak up.

Similarly, an incident happened with the AEW star Chris Jericho. He and his fellow AEW wrestler Keith Lee became a victim of fat-shaming. This prompted the former to react to his troller’s tweet and call him out online.

The fan named Fidel Costco, in his tweet, body-shamed Y2J and Keith Lee and called them fat. After seeing this obnoxiously infuriating post, Jericho called out the hater for harassing him and Lee. In his reply, the AEW talent makes a savage comment at his body shamers.

This is not the first time the ‘Demo God’ of AEW had to deal with this kind of hatred. In the past, a couple of times, he had to go through similar incidents. However, he didn’t let the haters get to his head and fought his trollers.

Jericho knows how to deal with his haters

Taking a trip to the past, around January 2021, the fans were criticizing Y2J all over social media. The fans were constantly trolling the wrestling star for his ‘out-of-shape’ body. To deal with this, he pulled out a very smart move.

He shared a photo of himself showing off his improved physique and six-pack abs in a mirror selfie. Jericho took down all his haters with just a single photograph, and he didn’t even have to say a word.
