Action Andretti shocks the world with his big win over Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho is a veteran in every sense of the word. The 52-year-old has traveled around the world, making a name for himself in promotions such as WCW, ECW, WWE, and NJPW. He also has an impressive title catalog, and tonight, he put over a newcomer.
Chris Jericho squared off against Action Andretti on the December 14, 2022, edition of Wednesday Night Dynamite. The former Ring of Honor World Champion decided to toy with the rookie in the match's early goings.
On the other hand, Andretti knew he was up against one of the best wrestlers in the world and showed incredible momentum. The young wrestler had the crowd at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, on their feet with his high-flying moves.
The MCW Heavyweight Champion kicked out of Jericho’s Codebreaker to the surprise of everyone, including The Sports Entertainer himself. Andretti regained momentum in the match's closing moments, picking up a shocking win over The Ocho.
Jericho was livid at the loss and destroyed everything backstage after the match. It remains to be seen if AEW's newest signing will retain the same momentum in the future.
