Chris Jericho supposedly saw AEW Dynasty reaction coming (Patreon)

Chris Jericho was heavily booed and criticized at AEW Dynasty, but he may have anticipated it.

Jericho won the FTW Title from Hook at AEW Dynasty, with “please retire” and “go home Jericho, go home” chants on him all throughout the way. Jericho was booed heavily upon winning the title. While that might have been an indication of the crowd not wanting to see Jericho over him having heat, he anticipated it.

Several AEW talent and people close to Chris Jericho claimed to Fightful since AEW Dynasty that the reaction from the crowd played out almost exactly as Jericho had laid it out to them in the week prior. 

A topic of conversation recently was several wrestlers wondering who smartened Chris Jericho up to the “Jericho Vortex” phrase, that is an online joke of people getting sucked into feuding or working with Jericho. We’d asked if anyone had let Jericho know that The Learning Tree was a stable in TNA, or if Rarified Air had been used for years by Richard Holliday, but didn’t get an answer.

One thing that wasn't expected by many, however, was Jericho's alterations to the FTW Title. We're told it was a surprise to many, including Taz. The FTW title is the original belt that was in ECW.
