Chris Jericho says his niece was seen on video being brutally punched and kicked in the face last week … and now, the wrestling superstar is pleading for officials to do something about it.
The AEW talent explained the situation on his Twitter page on Sunday night … saying his niece has been “incessantly bullied” at her middle school in Florida “for months
Jericho says the bullying took a violent turn just a few days ago … when she was beaten up in a street.
In the clip Jericho shared to his social media, you can see a girl being socked in the face multiple times — before she was continuously kicked and punched while bystanders looked on.
Jericho says despite his family’s efforts to get officials involved, “nobody did anything to help” — and he pleaded with school reps to “take action.”
He added in a message to TMZ Sports that his niece is “physically ok. But, mentally she’s hurting.”
“She’s scared to go to school,” the 51-year-old wrestler said. “This could’ve been avoided as the family approached the school a few times prior but nothing was done.”
“We need to spread awareness so that the schools do a better job of protecting our kid’s mental health and safety. ALL kids. Not just the ones with famous uncles.”

We also reached out to a spokesperson for Hillsborough County Public Schools … but so far, no word back yet
