Chris Jericho made a shocking appearance at GCW’s ‘Highest in the Room 3’ event on Saturday night, setting the stage for his upcoming match at ROH Final Battle 2024.
During a match between Matt Cardona and EFFY, a hooded figure entered the ring and attacked Cardona with a baseball bat, allowing EFFY to get the pinfall. However, the masked figure then turned on EFFY, revealing himself as none other than Chris Jericho.
Of course, Jericho is set to face Cardona for the Ring of Honor World Title at Final Battle on December 20.
EFFY was filling in for Ricky Starks, who was initially scheduled to face Cardona at the event. Starks was reportedly pulled by AEW following controversial comments that EFFY had made about Tony Khan’s father.
CHRIS JERICHO JUST SHOWED UP TO GCW AND TOOK OUT EFFY AND MATT CARDONA!!! #AEW 😭😭😭😭
