Chris Jericho To Face Ex-ROH World Champion

Chris Jericho ROH Champion

Chris Jericho’s one-man crusade against Ring of Honor will continue when he faces a former ROH World Champion on Dynamite.

On Dynamite in Norfolk, Virginia Chris Jericho teamed with ROH Pure Champion Daniel Garcia to face the Blackpool Combat Club pair of Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli. In back and forth bout it was Castagnoli that picked up the win for his team as he pinned the ROH World Champion.

Following his loss, Chris Jericho was furious and issued a challenge to any former ROH World Champion to face him n a match on the 2nd of November edition of AEW Dynamite in Baltimore. Who The Ocho’s opponent will be remains to be seen.

One man who it’s not likely to be is the man who has spent more days as ROH World Champion than anyone else as Jay Lethal will compete on the show against Darby Allin.

Other names that could realistically take on Chris Jericho include current ROH Television Champion Samoa Joe, the man who pinned Jericho on Dynamite Claudio Castagnoli, RUSH, Bandido, The Kingdom’s Matt Taven, AEW’s Head of Talent Relations Christopher Daniels, or even the man that Jericho tombstoned the previous week on Dynamite – AEW coach Jerry Lynn.

Also on the Baltimore edition of Dynamite, the All-Atlantic Championship will be on the line as Orange Cassidy will defend his title in a three-way match against Rey Fenix and Luchasaurus.
