Chris Jericho and Nick Wayne are scheduled for a rematch at AEW Grand Slam: France in Paris next month. Jericho secured a victory over Wayne on last week’s “AEW Dynamite” and later appeared during Wednesday’s “AEW Collision” segment to confront “The Prodigy.” Wayne responded by entering the ring, boosting his own confidence while challenging Jericho’s dominance, leading Jericho to question the reason behind the tension.
Jericho likened Wayne to his younger self, labeling him as arrogant. Wayne almost used explicit language in his comeback but instead admitted he couldn’t come to terms with his loss to Jericho, saying it was something that shouldn’t have happened. Looking Jericho in the eye, Wayne promised that such a defeat would never happen again.
The challenge for their rematch was set for October 6 at Grand Slam, which Jericho accepted with a handshake. Jericho went on to state that Wayne was not yet a man but just a boy who was about to get “the s*** kicked out of him” by Chris Jericho.
Fan Take: This rematch genuinely excites fighting fans because it’s a clash not just of skill but of generational pride, showcasing the rise of young talent against a seasoned legend. The outcome could significantly influence the future dynamics of AEW, signaling either a passing of the torch or the reaffirmation of Jericho’s dominance in the sport.
