On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Daniel Garcia defeated Wheeler Yuta for the ROH Pure Championship. Garcia triumphed in the match without receiving any assistance from Chris Jericho or the Jericho Appreciation Society of any kind.
When Yuta punched Garcia, the referee warned him because he had used a closed fist to throw the punch, which is against the rules. A few moments later, Garcia escaped a submission attempt and immediately put Yuta in the Dragon Gate submission, which eventually led to Yuta tapping out.
Following the conclusion of the match, Yuta and Garcia exchanged a handshake, and then Danielson put the belt around Garcia’s waist. Jericho walked out onto the stage with a shocked look on his face.
