Ravens QB Lamar Jackson discusses being called out during wrestling event

The Baltimore Ravens have had a little more time this week to get ready for the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football”, especially following their Thursday night win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8.  A few of the Ravens, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, were in attendance for AEW’s (All Elite Wrestling) Dynamite show that took place in Baltimore on Wednesday night.

During the show, one of the most popular AEW superstars in Chris Jericho called Jackson out. Jackson was asked about it after practice, laughing about the joke by saying he wasn’t expecting it, and didn’t know what Jericho said at first.

“I got called out. (laughter)I wasn’t thinking he was going to call me out. Chris Jericho called me out; I was like …(laughter)I didn’t really hear what he said at first, and then they told me, and I started laughing. I’m like, ‘This man is crazy.’ I enjoyed it though, because growing up, I was a huge fan of wrestling. So, it was cool to go see that.”

Wherever Jackson goes, he’s surely going to be the talk of the town.  He’s a likable person and even better human. He also got to snap a picture with Jericho and other legends backstage.
