CHRIS JERICHO SUSPENDED BY WWE

At last night's WWE event in Brazil, CM Punk was in the ring waving the Brazilian flag.  Chris Jericho took the flag and disrespected it.  Officials immediately entered the ring and gave Jericho the option of being arrested or apologizing to the crowd.  He chose the latter.

WWE said that the stunt was not planned and Jericho chose to do it on his own.  They then released the following statement:

"Chris Jericho has been suspended indefinitely  due to an irresponsible act of denigrating the Brazilian flag at a WWE event in Sao Paulo on May 24. The WWE has apologized to the citizens and the government of Brazil for this incident."
