In video footage posted Monday morning by TMZ Sports, a man is shown shouting curse words at the former Undisputed WWE Champion with Jericho shouting back at him, "F-ck your ass."
The man said he was a fan and was just trying to tell Jericho congratulations. More expletives were exchanged before Jericho told someone with him, "These guys are f-cking p-ssies."
Witnesses told TMZ Jericho was approached outside a tribute show for musician David Z, who was killed in a recent bus accident. The SmackDown superstar signed autographs and took pictures at first before getting frustrated and turned people down.

He competed in a triple threat match against Kevin Owens and AJ Styles for the WWE United States Championship. Styles went over in the match.
