#2. Chris Jericho vs Lance Storm on AEW; Iron Man Match with a victory lead of at least 2

Chris Jericho vs Lance Storm needs to happen at least once in AEW.

Chris Jericho and Lance Storm's friendship is very well-documented. The two best friends made their debut together in Canada before wrestling together in the USA for multiple promotions like Smoky Mountain Wrestling and WWE. In fact, Jericho has said in the past that he would want to face Lance Storm in his retirement match.

One of Jericho's labours should absolutely be Lance Storm.

Lance Storm is one of the best technicians to ever step foot inside a squared circle, and brings an old-school style of wrestling not commonly seen these days. Knowing MJF, he would want to cause as much distress to Chris Jericho as possible - mentally, emotionally and physically.

What better way to do that by having Jericho beat his own best friend over and over again? The added incentive for Storm could be the huge payday MJF promises for the Labour that ends up beating Jericho, and halting his progress. The hook of the story would be quite easy to sell and sounds enticing on paper.

It could end up meaning nothing, but Lance Storm recently posted something on his Twitter account alluding to a hike on Wednesday. Lance Storm is known to be a regular follower of AEW so it could be a hint.
