Ring of Honor World Champion Mark Briscoe will rematch with Chris Jericho on next week’s AEW Dynamite in a Ladder War match.
In an interview taped after last Saturday’s WrestleDream where Briscoe defeated Jericho, the latter claimed that Briscoe cheated to win his match, said he wanted a rematch, and would be a two-time ROH World Champion just like Jay Briscoe.
Renee Paquette caught up with Briscoe shortly afterward who still wasn’t happy Jericho keeps referencing his brother. He accepted the rematch but wanted to up the stakes with the Ladder War stipulation. It’s a traditional ladder match coined as a Ladder War in ROH.
Jericho hasn’t been in a ladder match since he was in WWE at 2016’s Money in the Bank. Briscoe last competed in a ladder match at June’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door — his first-such match in five years.
After a confrontation on Wednesday, The Elite’s Young Bucks & Jack Perry will battle Daniel Garcia & Private Party in a trios match.
Garcia took issue with the Bucks and Kazuchika Okada for not getting involved when the Blackpool Combat Club laid waste to several AEW wrestlers, causing a DQ in a trios match the Bucks and Okada were involved in.
Perry, who Garcia targeted at WrestleDream, got in his face and the two eventual teams had to be separated. The Bucks defeated Private Party at WrestleDream to retain the titles and turned down their offer of a rematch Wednesday.
Here’s the current lineup for Salt Lake City, Utah:
- ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe defends against Chris Jericho in a Ladder War match
- The Elite (Young Bucks and Jack Perry) vs. Daniel Garcia & Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy)
