Bandido keeps mask, wins ROH World title at AEW Dynasty
A new ROH Champion was crowned at AEW Dynasty.
Bandido defeated Chris Jericho to win the championship for a second time. The finish originally had Jericho pinning Bandido after striking him with a bat as Bryan Keith distracted the referee. Per the stipulations of the match, Bandido would have to unmask.
As fans reacted to the shock finish, Bandido’s mother and sister at ringside alerted referee Aubrey Edwards about the bat, which was hidden in the steel steps nearby. Edwards identified the bat and immediately restarted the match. As Jericho reacted to the news, Bandido struck Jericho with the twenty-one plex and pinned him to win the championship.
Bandido celebrated with his family inside the ring as a despondent Jericho retreated to the back.
After Jericho initially defeated Bandido to retain the ROH World title in February, he continued to target Bandido and his family by attacking his brother Gravity and stealing his mask. After weeks of taunting, Bandido was able to get the mask back from Jericho on an episode of Collision after laying him out with a punch and snatching it before Big Bill or Bryan Keith could intervene.
