During the holidays, Chris Jericho, in response to the events of Brawl Out resurfacing, yet again, tweeted that he has never signed an NDA - "ever".

Journalist Nick Hausman replied questioning the non-disclosure agreements Jericho allegedly "made other people sign", subsequently suggesting on his podcast that there were/are "issues with Chris behind the scenes, where I know a lot of people who were hurt by Chris and his actions". This comment unearthed a tweet, posted amid the #SpeakingOut movement, alluding to alleged misconduct on the part of Jericho.

Kylie Rae - who disappeared from AEW very early under mysterious circumstances, as was revealed by a not exactly comfortable-looking Tony Khan during the All Out '19 media scrum - replied with a heart emoji. A lot of people connected those dots, and Jericho was pelted with chants of "NDA" and "Kylie Rae" during his match at Worlds End.

Khan was questioned over this during the Worlds End scrum - dressed, like an embarrassment, in a novelty hat and oversized sunglasses. He said that AEW is the safest company in wrestling - what a low bar - and said he could not speak to "unsourced rumours".

He could have said that Chris Jericho has behaved immaculately throughout his entire AEW tenure and has never once been the subject of any complaints.

He didn't.
