Chris Jericho Rips Shinsuke Nakamura, Nakamura Responds

Chris Jericho's Twitter account has been extra entertaining since he turned heel on RAW several weeks ago. Jericho has been staying in-character for most of his wrestling-related tweets, and today took a couple of shots out of the blue at new WWE signee Shinsuke Nakamura, who is scheduled to face Sami Zayn at NXT Takeover: Dallas next week on April 1st. Jericho wrote:

Nakamura means nothing. He's a minor league Jericho wannabe. https://t.co/zpuHBsBX3a

Watch yourself baka?you mean nothing in my world. https://t.co/ey6d0jDE1M

Nakamura nonchalantly responded to Jericho, simply replying:

@IAmJericho thanks

— Shinsuke Nakamura (@ShinsukeN) March 23, 2016

While this appears to be a case of Jericho simply having fun on Twitter, Nakamura is rumored to be a part of the WWE tour in Japan this July and isn't expected to be in NXT for too long. Would Jericho be an ideal first feud for Nakamura in WWE? Sound off in the "Comments" section below.
