Chris Jericho had a rough night at All In – being defeated by Will Ospreay. However, what is another major loss for someone with as legendary a career as Jericho has had.
He would even lose his head, and shove Guevara. Tonight, we will hear from Jericho – as he looks to find his next steps, with the Jericho Appreciation Society gone and Don Callis as his enemy.
Chris Jericho Feels Bad For Not Respecting Sammy Guevara At All In
Jericho had a fantastic night at All In. He was able to sing his way to the ring alongside his band. There aren’t even any hard feelings with Will Ospreay – he was the better man and earned the win. The only thing Jericho doesn’t accept is how he treated Sammy Guevara.
After the match, Jericho would shove Guevara who tried to provide some comfort. Jericho now knows that Guevara did everything possible to help him score the victory.
He watched it back, seen Guevara use the baseball bat when the referee’s back was turned. Jericho is wondering what could have been done differently.
Maybe he could have done a better roll up, zigged when he should have zagged, maybe Guevara could have hit Ospreay harder. Guevara caught this last part and brought up another point. He left his pregnant wife in Orlando to help Jericho – who maybe should have hit Ospreay harder himself.
If Jericho wasn’t asking him to focus on helping him – Guevara might have not been a simple second on the show, but in a match. Jericho would say he will do everything he can to get Guevara to that goal.
That could start next week, as they team up next week in tag team action – and shoot to become the AEW World Tag Team Championships. This got Guevara back on side, atleast for now.
Eddie Kingston Defends NJPW Gold In An AEW Ring
Eddie Kingston was the man to lead his team into battle at Stadium Stampede III – and was crucial in the finish of the match, neutralizing Jon Moxley while Orange Cassidy dropped Claudio Castagnoli.
Tonight, we see a battle from the match continue, with Kingston ready to defend his NJPW Strong Championship against Blackpool Combat Club member Wheeler Yuta.
Still taped up from Stadium Stampede, Kingston would hit the ring with intent to maul Yuta. Yuta would try to climb to the top rope, catching a chop from Kingston and hitting a flying armbreaker.
Having already found his target, Yuta would put his Pure Wrestling skills to work – targeting the wrist of Kingston, wrenching away.
Kingston would be driven head first into the turnbuckle, and was already looking rocked. However, if there’s anything he learned in Japan during the G1 Climax is how to be rocked and keep fighting. Kingston send Yuta tumbling to the floor with a chop, and would take flight with a suicide dive.
Channelling Kenta Kobashi after pulling Yuta into the corner of the ring, he’d hit a barrage of chops before an Exploder Suplex. Yuta would come back with a German Suplex, and took flight with a splash – only to land on the knees of Kingston. Saito Suplex landed for a near fall, Kingston close to retaining.
Damage was adding up on Kingston, who was caught going for a chop – and Yuta would hit the Hammer & Anvil elbows. First he targeted the elbow of Kingston before the neck.
Kingston would break free and hit the Half & Half Suplex. Yuta took two Urakens, and the referee could have counted to 100 and Yuta was not kicking out.
After the bell, ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli would collect a beaten Yuta, not giving Kingston any attention.
Will Kingston get another shot at Castagnoli’s championship? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
