Chris Jericho Mocks Keith Lee After Dynamite Doubles NXT's Rating In Key Demo

Chris Jericho has taken his Demo God moniker to the next level by using a gif of Keith Lee to take a shot at NXT and its champion.

Fans have been dissecting the viewership of NXT and Dynamite ever since the two decided to call Wednesday night home last October. Most of the time, wrestlers will claim they pay no attention to the numbers. However, Chris Jericho has decided to go in the complete opposite direction. As soon as the results drop, Le Champion flaunts them on social media.

Not the overall rating, even though Dynamite wins that more often than not, but the number of people watching who are aged between 18 and 49. Ever since NXT won in the ratings a few weeks ago, Jericho has been touting that the real winner is whoever has the most viewers within that all-important demo. Dynamite seems to win that war every single week.

This past Wednesday was no different. Not only did more people watch Dynamite than watched NXT overall, but there were twice as many 18-49-year-olds watching AEW's product. Mere minutes after that revelation became public, the Demo God was ready to go and fired a fresh shot at NXT. Jericho posted a gif of Keith Lee getting hit in the face with a fireball along with the hashtag #DemoBurn.

For those who didn't watch NXT this week, Lee opened the contract freshly signed by Karrion Kross and was met with a fireball to the face. More of a main roster move and clearly an angle Jericho found amusing, but not necessarily in a good way. As for Jericho, deep down he might have wished fewer people were watching Dynamite this week. The former WWE Champion was beaten in the show's main event by Orange Cassidy.

Le Champion will be loving all of this really, of course. Not only is Dynamite beating NXT in the ratings, overall and in key demos, but it is even beating Raw in some respects. Last week's Dynamite was watched by more 18 to 34-year-olds than this week's Raw. If advertisers are really as bothered about the age of who's watching wrestling shows, then that is a very big win for AEW.
