Jericho resurrected his decade-old Lionheart gimmick when he unsuccessfully challenged Jon Moxley for the AEW Interim World Championship.
The two men went back and forth for over 20 minutes to put on a grueling bloodbath in the main event. During the tail-end of the match, The Wizard fell into his own trap as he hit an exposed turnbuckle that he intentionally set up for Mox.
As a result, the JAS leader was busted open and eventually tapped out to Moxley’s Bulldog submission maneuver.
Speaking on the Keepin It 100 podcast, Disco Inferno took issue with the immense depiction of blood in the bout, especially from Chris Jericho:
Konnan asserted that The Wizard probably wanted to bleed to get more ratings for the show:
Chris Jericho is reportedly pencilled in for a blockbuster match at AEW All Out 2022
Chris Jericho might be out of the title picture after his crushing loss at the hands of Jon Moxley, but a dream match seems to be in the works for him.
Dave Meltzer recently reported that Jericho vs. Danielson is currently in the works for the upcoming All Out pay-per-view next month.
Danielson could reignite a rivalry with Jericho, who injured him during the Anarchy in the Arena match earlier this year at Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
The American Dragon is set to face Daniel Garcia in a two-out-of-three falls stipulation match on AEW Dynamite: House of the Dragon next week, this will be Danielson’s first match since losing to Garcia on July 27 edition of Dynamite’s Fight For The Fallen.
