Chris Jericho’s surprise appearance at GCW ‘Highest in the Room 3’ over the weekend has created quite a buzz.
During the event, Jericho interfered in Matt Cardona’s match with EFFY, helping to set up their upcoming match at this weekend’s ROH Final Battle 2024 pay-per-view event.
During today’s media call to promote ROH Final Battle 2024, AEW President Tony Khan revealed that Jericho’s involvement in GCW came at the request of Matt Cardona. Khan said,
“Matt helped put that together. Matt asked me about it, and obviously, I was happy to send Chris to promote the match that is happening on ROH as part of the double main event. It’s something we spent weeks building up on ROH and AEW TV, which is a nice thing.”
He continued, “There is a lot of matches and potential things that could happen with Matt being the challenger and potentially being the ROH World Champion going forward. That’s something to keep an eye on. With Matt appearing there, and this being a title match, it made sense to do something to promote. It’s very much along the lines of things we’ve done with other matches along the ways over the years.”
At TNA Final Resolution 2024, Jeff Hardy hit a wild Swanton Bomb from the stands.
During the show, Jeff jumped off a railing in the crowd, crashing onto Eddie Edwards who was on a table below. Matt Hardy took to Twitter to comment on the spot, writing:
“Here’s an absolutely amazing fancam viewpoint of @JEFFHARDYBRAND’s extraordinary Swanton Bomb from #TNAFinalResolution. It’s unbelievable that after 33 years of physically damaging his body via pro wrestling, Brother Nero can still do this with pinpoint accuracy. Jeff is an anomaly. We are both blessed to be healthy enough to be doing this at such a high level.
