– Back from the break and we see how Jericho got pinned for the first time last week.
In the Arena:
“Le Champion” Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring accompanied by Jake Hager.
Chris Jericho comes out for what is being described as a “major announcement.” Jericho admits he had a “temper tantrum” last week and says he had to pay for everything because of it. He says it wasn’t conduct that a champion should display and starts to apologize but just can’t bring himself to say the words. He finally gets Hager to say it for him. Hager almost cracks up at one point.
Jericho says that next week he finally get the ‘thank you’ he deserves and says he will have the “Chris Jericho Thanksgiving Thank You Celebration.” SCU’s music interrupts him and they come down to the ring.
Scorpio Sky says that it takes a “paragon of virtue” to apologize when someone does something wrong and Jericho has proven that he is that and more tonight. Sky says that Jericho forgot to mention why he threw a tantrum. He reminds him that Sky pinned him.
A “you got pin” chant breaks out which does not amuse him. Sky says that it was one of the greatest moments of his life. He says that his DM’s blew up after that and even his high school crush “Melanie Parsons” DM’d him and asked him out.
Sky apologizes to Jericho for embarrassing him last week, sarcastically. Jericho says he isn’t embarrassed and Melanie gained a lot of weight since high school. “I like big butts and I cannot lie,” Sky retorts. Jericho says that he thinks it’s “cuter than Baby Yoda” that Sky thinks he beat him fair and square but says he isn’t in his league.
Jericho says he wants to rectify the loss to Sky in a one-on-one match. Daniels says that they need at least a one or two months to train for the match but Jericho gets pissed and walks right into what they wanted, which is a match next week! Kazarian jumps in, “You have to make sure it isn’t for the AEW Title because we know how crazy Jericho gets over that title.” Sky says he doesn’t deserve or want a title shot, which Jericho takes the bait on again and says the title will be on the line!
They shake on it and Sky gets in Jericho’s face. “You may think I don’t have a chance but maybe I’ve been waiting 15 years for an opportunity just like that,” Sky says. “Maybe next week I’m going to beat you for the AEW Championship and turn ‘La Champeon’ into “Le Bitch!”
The Inner Circle hits the ring and beats down SCU. Jericho hits the Judas Effect on Sky as the Inner Circle forces the rest of SCU to watch. Marko Stunt and Jungle Boy – who were bullied by Jericho during the break – hit the ring and get laid out, but Luchasaurus hits the ring and comes face-to-face with Hager!
Hager makes out like we’re about to get a “hoss fight” but backs down and retreats with the rest of the Inner Circle instead.
Luchasaurus vs. Peter Avalon (with Leva Bates)
Avalon cuts a quick promo about being glad Luchasaurus is back in the ring. It’s a quick one with Luchasaurus giving Avalon a roundhouse kick to the head, cover, 1-2-3.

He goes back to working out and there’s only like 5-10 pounds of weight on the bar.
