AEW has announced that Chris Jericho and Daniel Garcia will face off on this week’s AEW Dynamite episode.
Bryan Danielson defeated Garcia in the opening match of last week’s House of The Dragon episode of AEW Dynamite, which lasted about 25 minutes. Danielson extended a handshake to Garcia following the match, and Garcia appeared to accept it when Jericho attacked from behind and knocked him out. Jericho rushed up to Garcia, shoved him away, and yelled and pointed at him. Jericho gave Garcia the finger before warning him and leaving as the episode came to a close.
According to AEW, Jericho is now doubting Garcia’s commitment to The Jericho Appreciation Society and intends to confront him directly on Dynamite.
“As @bryandanielson offered @GarciaWrestling a handshake after a classic bout last week, @IAmJericho ambushed Bryan from behind; Jericho was shocked when Garcia impeded his assault! Now Jericho’s questioned Garcia’s loyalty & will confront him face-to-face TOMORROW on #AEWDynamite,” AEW tweeted.
