One of the longest buildups heading into AEW All Out 2021 was Chris Jericho vs. MJF. After losing to Maxwell Jacob Friedman in the fifth Labor of Jericho, Le Champion decided to put his career on the line here at the pay-per-view for one final fight with his arch rival.

Both men had superstar entrances. MJF mocked Chris Jericho's Y2J countdown leading to the video board saying "Jericho's Last Match" in a superb bit of heel work. The Demo God came down to Fozzy guitarist Billy Grey playing Judas to the ring. This was more of an old school bout with a slow start here at AEW All Out 2021.

MJF focused on the injured arm of Chris Jericho that helped him get his last victory. However, Jericho gained an advantage when he evaded an Asai Moonsault and hit a pop-up powerbomb on the ring apron. Wardlow came down to interfere, but Jake Hager got into a brawl with the Pinnacle powerhouse.

This gave MJF an opportunity to use Jericho's baseball bat and hit the Judas Effect for the pin, but the Demo God got his foot on the ropes in a stellar false finish.

Once the match restarted, MJF went for the Salt of the Earth, but Jericho got a crucifix for a nearfall. He followed with the Walls of Jericho. MJF tried to fight to the ropes, but eventually tapped out to keep Jericho's career alive here at AEW All Out 2021.

Star rating: ***1/2
