WWE: Rusev And Chris Jericho Trade Jabs On Twitter

01/12/2017 10:10 am EST

Chris Jericho won his first ever United States Championship last night on RAW. It had been the only belt (other than the newly created Universal title) that had eluded him in his illustrious career. While many in the wrestling community were happy for him, Rusev took to Twitter to take some of the steam out of Jericho's victory.

Jericho was quick to strike back.

While the exchange was likely all in good fun, Rusev does have to be a bit upset that he's gotten pushed down the card ever since losing his championship to Roman Reigns last year.

Despite having all of the talent in the world, Rusev is being used more in a comedy role than in one where he will be considered a legitimate Universal Championship contender. Hopefully, this could change in the coming months, but the WWE's track record with "evil foreigner" gimmicks lead me to think otherwise.
