WWE legend reacts to Chris Jericho winning ROH World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in his career at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam

Chris Jericho's ROH world title win at AEW Grand Slam has garnered widespread appreciation. WWE legend Bully Ray also applauded the victory.

The Wizard faced Claudio Castagnoli this week on the special edition of Dynamite for the latter's ROH World Championship belt.

While the Swiss Superman initially looked to be in the driving seat, Jericho was eventually able to turn the tables. With a low blow, the JAS leader effectively took down the former WWE Star to take the win with a pinfall.

He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former.
