Chris Jericho defending ROH title against former champion on next AEW Dynamite
Ring of Honor Champion Chris Jericho’s desire to destroy the legacy of ROH will continue on next Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite as he faces a mystery former champion.
Since defeating Claudio Castagnoli for the title at September’s Dynamite Grand Slam, Jericho has successfully defended against Bandido, Bryan Danielson, and Dalton Castle. He will look to keep it going next Wednesday.
In another title match, AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy will defend his title against Rey Fenix and Luchasaurus in a three-way.
Fenix was doing a promo backstage Wednesday where he and Alex Abrahantes alluded to wanting a title shot. Luchasaurus and Christian Cage came into the shot and Cage suggested Luchasaurus should get the shot first. That led to Cassidy appearing and offering to put up the title against both of them.
In a rematch, Darby Allin will take on Jay Lethal a week after Lethal put a figure four on him while an arena garage door was closed on his midsection. Lethal teased that an old friend who knows Allin’s secrets will be on hand which Allin welcomed via a promo.
Renee Paquette will host a face-to-face between Saraya and Britt Baker. The two rivals got into another verbal confrontation backstage Wednesday.
AEW Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed will hold a Daddy Ass Birthday Bash to celebrate Billy Gunn’s birthday.
Here’s the current lineup for next Wednesday’s show from Baltimore, Maryland:
- ROH Champion Chris Jericho defends against a former ROH Champion
- AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy defends against Rey Fenix and Luchasaurus
