Special Singles Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Chris Jericho

Ad

A lot is riding on this dream match of icons if challenges and rumors are to be believed. Hiroshi Tanahashi opened pandora's box when he declared he'd challenge for Jericho's AEW World Title if he won this bout. Intelligent as ever, in response, Chris Jericho accepted on behalf of Tony Khan as well.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

Not only has this got eyes on both products but the contest as well. For Jericho, in particular, it seems a smart move that could either find AEW into the fold with New Japan or more importantly allow the impossible stipulation to book himself into a big win at the Tokyo Dome. In all honesty, Jericho's reputation needs it, with the novelty of his appearances wearing thin.

The rivalry that started with Jericho's post-loss beatdown on Okada will find its way back to bite Le Champion, but for now, his Painmaker can destroy Tanahashi. With his clock winding down, and Jericho no slouch in big matches this one has a chance to remain in legend for sure. Hopefully, it, will not just for infamy but the quality of performances as well.

Result: A shock Judas Effect gets Chris Jericho the big win, against "Bakahashi".
