Jericho first teased a feud with Cole after the latter’s win over Daniel Garcia on the March 29, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite. The feud escalated after The Wizard forced Cole to watch The Outcasts assault Dr. Britt Baker with a kendo stick.

The two stars signed a contract for their Unsanctioned Match for Double or Nothing 2023 on the May 24th episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite. The segment witnessed the arrival of former ECW World Champion Sabu to Tony Khan’s promotion.

The "Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal" Death-Defying Maniac was announced as the special enforcer for the bout at the May 28th premium live event. He ended up putting himself and Jericho’s lackey through a table during the show.

Chris Jericho suffered a humiliating loss in the Unsanctioned Match. The Wizard was unable to defend himself from a barrage of Adam Cole's punches, losing via referee stoppage. The two were tied to a massive chain and were only separated by bolt cutters.

Jericho and Saraya appeared during a backstage segment later in the show. The former AEW World Champion demanded that he and Saraya be put in a mixed tag team match against Cole and Britt Baker next Wednesday on Dynamite.

The segment ended with Chris Jericho injuring a backstage attendant with a fireball to the face. It remains to be seen how the feud will continue next Wednesday.
