Chris Jericho roasts Rusev on Twitter and we are here for it
Oh, the shade of it all! The WWE has more burn book-style drama than Mean Girls, so when we learned that Chris Jericho roasted Rusev on Twitter, we decided to find out what for!
It all started when a few wrestlers were live-tweeting during the Wednesday night broadcast of the hit reality show, Total Divas. Rusev, in the most ill-advised tweet of the century, shaded Renee Young for missing the shot in basketball.
No! @ReneeYoungWWE missed the next shot. 0$ for her. She is surprisingly good tho...... for a CANADIAN A!!!

Never mind the fact that basketball was invented by a Canadian. Of course, Renee Young wasn’t going to let that slight against her slide and she fired back with a burn of her own.
Rusev decided to double-down and tweeted this bit of cruelty.

This, of course, didn’t sit well with the new United States champion who is, himself, a native of Winnipeg.
And with that comment, Chris Jericho roasted Rusev alive with just one tweet.
7 million Bulgarians. 0 great wrestlers. https://t.co/A93bWxd5O1

Ouch! That hurt our feelings and it wasn’t even directed at us! Need some cold water for that savage burn, Rusev?

Of course, Rusev tried to come back with a retort about Andre the Giant, a French wrestler who was, apparently, half-Bulgarian. He also mumbled something about Jericho being a wannabe rock star (no arguments from this corner), and something else about Jericho being 62 years old. But frankly, there was no real recovery from that little bit of Jeri-KO savagery. And it’s interesting how Rusev didn’t even cite himself as being a “good” Bulgarian wrestler. Bless his heart!
