Chris Jericho rips Brock Lesnar and calls him fat in incredible Twitter rant during WWE's Royal Rumble

Chris Jericho departed the WWE for All Elite Wrestling earlier this month and he is already stirring the pot.

During the Royal Rumble last night, Jericho went on a Twitter tirade and one of his targets was WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar defeated Finn Balor in nine minutes at the Royal Rumble in what was a fun sprint of a match. The Beast Incarnate seems to be heading for a date with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania after the Kingslayer won the Royal Rumble match itself.

However, Y2J insisted that Lesnar has a 'gut' now and he needs to 'give it up'.

Considering Lesnar has been considering a return to the UFC heavyweight division for the past year or so, those comments won't be well received by Brock.

Lesnar is 41-years-old now but it still considered one of the most intimidating presences in the business today and quite possibly, ever.

Ironically, fans lambasted Jericho for his return to New Japan in 2018 where he had clearly put on weight himself. Although, Jericho is 48 and tours full-time with his band Fozzy, so it would be much harder for him to keep peak physical condition.

Brock, on the other hand, has plenty of spare time.

Lesnar and Jericho famously had an allegedly spat backstage at SummerSlam 2016 following Lesnar's main event match with Randy Orton.

Jericho didn't appreciate how Lesnar had opened up Orton the hard way and left him bleeding profusely. You can't say Jericho didn't lack courage by having it out with Lesnar at least!

He'll need to find that courage once more if Paul Heyman's client finds him in the near future for sure.
