The Learning Tree, which consists of Chris Jericho, Big Bill & Bryan Keith, is currently in a feud with The Conglomeration. Both factions were founded earlier this year, with the latter being the newer one.
In the latest episode of Dynamite, Chris Jericho locked horns with The Conglomeration's Orange Cassidy in one-on-one action. This match was well received by both fans in attendance as well as viewers from across the world. It had several remarkable spots and a memorable ending with The "Freshly Squeezed" triumphing.
In the dying minutes of this showdown, it looked like Jericho was going to win because he was about to strike his opponent with a roll of quarters. However, his plan backfired. Cassidy ended up delivering an "Orange Punch" with the roll of quarters and pinned the former WWE Superstar for the win.
Jericho was furious with the outcome of this match and he expressed his displeasure in a backstage segment. Furthermore, he called the former AEW International Champion a "low-life cheater."

"Now we know what you're all about. So The Learning Tree has a lesson for you. Next time I see you and your dopey Conglomeration members... I am gonna take this all out on the three of you. This is not the end of The Learning Tree and The Conglomeration. Thanks, Orange for being a low-life cheater. Shame on you!" said Jericho.
The rivalry between The Learning Tree and The Conglomeration has just started and certainly has a long way to go.
