"A cancer to television" - Wrestling world furious over Tony Khan's decision for blockbuster title match

Being the President and the Head of Creative for AEW, Tony Khan has the final call in all feuds, storylines, and matches on the shows. On last night's episode of Rampage, a match for the upcoming ROH pay-per-view Final Battle was announced. The match was for the promotion's World Title between the champion Chris Jericho and Claudio Castagnoli and fans are not thrilled about the match.The rivalry between The Jericho Appreciation Society and the Blackpool Combat Club has been going on for months. The two began their feud early May and have been butting heads even today. They have competed in an Anarchy in an Arena match, Blood &amp; Guts match, and a plethora of singles and tag team matches but their rivalry has only heated up.Chris Jericho defeated Blackpool Combat Club's Claudio Castagnoli to win the ROH World Title. Since then, The Ocho has targeted and successfully defeated former ROH Champions, including Bryan Danielson.Last night on AEW Rampage, Claudio Castagnoli challenged Jericho to a title match at the Ring of Honor Final Battle, and Jericho agreed under one condition. If Claudio loses the match, then he will align himself with The Jericho Appreciation Society.All Elite Wrestling@AEW.@ClaudioCSRO gets another shot at the #ROH World Championship!

The main event of the event was for the promotion's world title match between Jon Moxley and MJF.MJF claimed that he wanted to win the match clean to prove that he earned and deserves the title. That is what it seemed like was happening, despite not having the upper hand for most of the match, as Friedman managed to overcome the urge to cheat and win the match. But it was all a ploy to work the crowd as William Regal handed him the brass knuckles helping The Devil win the title.All Elite Wrestling@AEWWait, what just happened?Watch #AEWFullGear LIVE on PPV right nowallelitewrestling.com/how-to-watch-a…105441713Wait, what just happened?Watch #AEWFullGear LIVE on PPV right now🔗allelitewrestling.com/how-to-watch-a… https://t.co/YnqHgrmS3JOn this past week's episode of Dynamite, Regal mentioned that this was a long-term plan but will let MJF reveal the details when he arrives.
