"I'll show him," said Vince McMahon, foaming at the mouth in his trademark, throat-tearing, ham-acting rage. "I'll show that Chris Jericho for signing with All Elite Wrestling. I'll inject his career with a lethal dose of poison! I'll..."

Move his roster page to the alumni section of WWE dot com, and remove his image from the opening signature of WWE programming!

Like, give it a week. Do this sort of malicious corn-cobbing with a degree of subtlety before making yourself look like a spiteful old autocrat. That's a bit much to ask of a man driven purely by impulse - he didn't wait a week to pester Melanie Pillman in 1997 - but give it a day, even: Jericho was moved to the alumni page, having not wrestled for WWE in well over a year, as the AEW rally was taking place. Again, this only served to reinforce AEW as potential competition. WWE is clearly terrified of this prospect, and by acting totally not bothered by them, come on guy, what do they care, Vince is acting like an embittered ex before we've even met our new partner.

Vince used to be the guy with balls the size of grapefruits, and now he's putting My Chemical Romance lyrics as his display name on MSN Messenger.
