Chris Jericho Bashes WWE Over Use Of Zombies At Wrestlemania Backlash

During last night’s Wrestlemania Backlash PPV, the Miz and Damian Priest Lumberjack match featured the appearance of zombies as a tie-in to the movie Army of the Dead. Zombies in a wrestling match drew a very negative reaction online, and AEW’s Chris Jericho trolled the company on Twitter.

He wrote: “Zombies…ZOMBIES? Wow that just set wrestling back 30 years.”

Jericho’s comment is a reference to a story from last week that WWE officials were not pleased with AEW’s Blood and Guts match, claiming it set the business back 30 years.

Zombies…ZOMBIES? Wow that just set wrestling back 30 years.
