Chris Jericho has taken to Twitter to respond to UFC veteran Conor McGregor.
Earlier today, McGregor expressed his congratulations to new Raw & Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch by proclaiming her as the first “champ-champ” of the WWE.
Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ.

Wow!
What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty!
Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do.
Or could I…
Later, a fan attempted to correct McGregor by stating that Chris Jericho is in fact the WWE’s first “champ-champ.”
One of these is a WCW belt.

Both belts must be won under the same organization and both titles must be fully unified also.
Interim titles do not make the cut.
The belts must also be held consecutively.
This is for true “Champ Champ” status.
Yours sincerely,
The Champ Champ™️ https://t.co/b7dW8T1Gty
Chris Jericho responded in a tremendous fashion, calling out McGregor for the sheer inaccuracies in his statement.
Thanks for the explanation of the rules Champ Champ. But Both belts were won under the same organization, on the same night. Now quit being a mark and move along, junior. https://t.co/2HYkmdAI5i
