"The Bad Boy" Joey Janela vs Chris Jericho on AEW Dynamite
Chris Jericho revealed he was wearing an Orange Cassidy shirt when Freshly Squeezed came down to the ring. He then battered Janela heavily, looking to send a message to Cassidy. The inaugural AEW World Champion took out all his frustrations on The Bad Boy, who struggled to get out of the starting gate.
Janela took two back suplexes, but a third he escaped. A series of strikes built up some momentum, only for Jericho to stop it completely with a big clothesline. A series of knees left Janela dazed on the ramp.
As Janela lept off the ropes for a springboard maneuver, AEW's Demo God caught him with the Codebreaker. The Walls finished the job.

Grade: C
Jericho wasn't done, tearing off one of the AEW turnbuckle pads and busting Janela open. He then wiped the blood on his Orange Cassidy shirt. Eventually, Orange rushed the ring, but Jake Hager and Jericho took him out.
At least, that was the plan. Sonny Kiss rushed in and laid out Jericho. Jake Hager planted him with a slam but was sent to the floor by Orange Cassidy. A tornado DDT spiked Jericho, but the superman punch was avoided when Hager pulled the Demo God out of the ring.
