This week’s AEW Dynamite featured from the Fertitta Center in Houston, Texas. The most anticipated match on the card was the fight between Chris Jericho and MJF, where Chris would face his final “labor” and put an end to this rivalry. The stunning match received praise from one of the greatest of all time, Ric Flair.
However, the result of the match was not something that Jericho would have wanted. After putting away four lethal wrestlers, Jericho could not seal his victory against MJF.
