After tonight's Double Or Nothing PPV, Chris Jericho took to Twitter and addressed AEW President Tony Khan in a tweet. The event featured the finals of the TNT Championship tournament, with Cody taking on Lance Archer. The AEW EVP won the contest and was crowned the first-ever TNT Champion. Post the match, Boxing legend Mike Tyson entered the ring and handed the TNT title to Cody.

Mere minutes before the PPV kicked off, AEW President Tony Khan posted a group picture on his official Twitter handle, featuring a bunch of AEW personnel, as well as Tyson, who was holding the TNT title belt. After the PPV came to an end, former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho responded to Tony Khan's tweet and told him to keep Tyson away from him. Jericho further stated that he hasn't forgotten January 11, 2010, and never will.
Chris Jericho still seems to have bad blood with Mike Tyson
Back in 2010, Mike Tyson returned to WWE RAW as a guest host. The night ended with DX defeating Jericho and Tyson, after Tyson turned on his partner and connected a punch on his face. Jericho was knocked out immediately, and Tyson celebrated with DX and Hornswoggle to end the show.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
