Daniel Garcia won the ROH Pure Title from Wheeler Yuta on Wednesday’s post-All Out edition of AEW Dynamite from Buffalo, NY. The fight was judged by Jerry Lynn, Matt Sydal, and BJ Whitmer, and Garcia was given a special introduction by the rapper and local star Westside Gunn. William Regal and Caprice Coleman joined in the commentary. Following the conclusion of the bout, Garcia and Yuta embraced one another while Bryan Danielson looked on as confetti began to fall. Danielson then took the title belt from Garcia and wrapped it around his waist while Chris Jericho raged on the ramp.
After Dynamite went off the air, Jericho continued to approach the ring while yelling about Garcia being a sports entertainer. The Buffalo fans chanted back at Jericho, “Wrestler!”
As Danielson and Yuta continued to congratulate Garcia in the ring, Gunn made his way back out to the ring to give Garcia a hug. Meanwhile, Jericho made his way to the back. Garcia grabbed the microphone and stated that he was not sure if the crowd was aware of how important the night was for AEW.
Garcia continued by saying that he and Yuta had entered the ring in order to demonstrate to everyone what they should be concentrating on, which was the bout that was taking place inside the ring and nothing else. He addressed his family and friends in his hometown before continuing the party with Gunn and others.
