10 Secret Wrestling Messages You Could Hear

2. Chris Jericho

Back in 2016, Chris Jericho and PAC - under his Neville moniker - had a WWE Raw bout that was derailed after just a couple of minutes.

There, the former NXT Champion suffered a broken ankle which led to some fast-thinking from Jericho. Aware something was clearly wrong with his opponent, the veteran can be heard asking if Neville is okay after the Geordie crumpled to the mat.

An awkward roll-up - because broken ankle, of course - from Jericho followed, but referee Charles Robinson only counted to two. Frustrated that Robinson hadn't picked up on what was happening, the future Le Champion got in the ref's face and berated him about how Neville was "f**king hurt".

A shove to Robinson's chest caused him to ring for the bell and DQ Jericho, and then the two got in a very real, very heated conversation as Lil' Naitch lambasted the one-time Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rollah for touching him - all with plentiful F-bombs from the pair.

Charles Robinson would be a guest on the Talk is Jericho podcast a few months later, and it would be detailed how he and Jericho were both hot at each other on that night, but that any issues were quickly resolved once the pair got backstage.
