#2 Chris Jericho cut an exhilarating promo on AEW Dynamite
Next week's AEW Dynamite will feature a Blood and Guts contest between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle. Without getting involved in a brawl, members of both factions participated in a parley this week to discuss their upcoming fight.
This cage-related match (with two rings) will only end via submit or surrender. The first two men will get a five-minute round, and then every two minutes, another participant will enter. The match will officially start only after all ten men have entered the cage.

Sammy Guevara ended up being the deciding factor when it came to the two-on-one advantage in the Blood and Guts fight. He pointed out Shawn Spears' inability to succeed in any major promotion and surprisingly handed the team advantage to The Pinnacle. The reasoning behind this decision was that since Spears has failed in both WWE and AEW (so far), he will likely lose and bring down The Pinnacle next week, irrespective of the advantage.
Santana and Ortiz also had a verbal exchange with FTR, but it all came down to the faction leaders — Chris Jericho and MJF.
MJF highlighted that Chris Jericho isn't in his prime anymore, and the weight of Jericho carrying AEW on his shoulders since day one will lead to the veteran's downfall. MJF seems ready to take over Le Champion's prestigious position in the professional wrestling industry.
However, Chris Jericho responded with a high-energy promo that encapsulated why MJF will fail next week.
“How do you think you can inherit a spot just because you want it?" Jericho said. "It doesn’t work that way. You want a spot? You’ve gotta earn it. At 25 years old, I headlined arenas in Japan and Mexico and that’s where I learned respect."
Apparently, MJF hasn't learned from his early career mistakes like Chris Jericho did, and the former's foolish pride may lead to The Pinnacle's defeat on AEW Dynamite.
Jericho claimed that The Pinnacle would have to kill The Inner Circle's members to make them surrender. This bold statement likely indicates that the Blood and Guts contest will be one of the most intense AEW matches of all time.
