AEW has confirmed the former World Champion Chris Jericho’s opponent for the upcoming Fyter Fest event, announcing that he will face Orange Cassidy at the show.
The former WWE star had brutally attacked The King of Sloth Style on last week’s episode of Dynamite and Y2J had beaten him down with a bag of blood oranges.
This week’s episode of the show then saw Jericho teaming up with Sammy Guevara to face the Best Friends in a #1 contenders match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
The ending of this bout saw Guevara being tripped by a cameraman which led to the Inner Circle members losing the match. Cassidy then revealed himself as the cameraman.
The former Chikara star then went on to attack Chris Jericho and the company confirmed a match between the two for the upcoming event as the show went off air.
