#2 AEW star Chris Jericho overcomes third labor, but MJF introduces his next opponent
Trending
AEW star Chris Jericho continues to overcome roadblocks in his path every week as he defeated his arch-rival, Juventud Guerrera, tonight. The bout didn't live up to the hype the way everyone anticipated. Both men looked rusty in the ring, and the television audience could easily witness their poor coordination while connecting with their maneuvers.
Nevertheless, the energetic crowd on the show made it look like a hard-hitting contest. However, the ending was a treat for fans as Jericho delivered a breathtaking Judas Effect from the top rope to win the match.

Fans popped out of their seats to witness such a classic arsenal from a 50-year-old guy. MJF continued its trend of spoiling Jericho's nights this week as well.
After The Demo God emerged victoriously, Wardlow ambushed him viciously. AEW star MJF then named the latter as Chris Jericho's fourth labor next week. The rivalry gets intense with each week passing.
#1 Malakai Black squashed Cody Rhodes in his in-ring debut
Malakai Black made an emphatic in-ring debut tonight by squashing Cody Rhodes to display his dominance. The former WWE Superstar made quick work of Rhodes by targeting his knee.
Black even made him jump on the table, leaving him in unimaginable pain. Cody Rhodes never recovered during the match and ended up taking a Black Mass to conclude the bout. It was a short yet logical way of introducing Malakai Black to the AEW Universe.
He was immensely over, starting from his breathtaking entrance until he pinned Rhodes clean in the middle of the ring.
It wasn't just the match that got the wrestling world talking, as AEW star Cody Rhodes delivered a passionate promo, which later on everyone realized was his retirement speech.
As The American Nightmare was about to leave his boots in the ring, Black surfaced again and assaulted him with a crutch to end the show.
This was an unexpected swerve for fans, but the whole depiction received critical acclaim. If Malakai Black's actions were any indication, then we may be in for another match between him and Cody Rhodes, possibly at AEW All Out.
However, the commentary desk assumed it was retirement. It is also worth noting that Rhodes is expected to take time off after the show. The fact that it got people in a state of speculation suggests how brilliantly the company worked out this match. It remains to be seen how the storyline will unfold next week.
