• On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Chris Jericho lost to Konosuke Takeshita. Takeshita made Jericho tap out to the Walls of Jericho.
However, this wasn’t a clean loss for Jericho, as Don Callis hit Jericho in the head with a screwdriver behind the referee’s back.
While discussing this loss, the Wrestling Observer noted that Jericho is the highest paid wrestler in All Elite Wrestling:
“He is the highest-paid guy in the company. And it’s like, you really want to protect that investment if you’re paying a guy that much money. I mean, you can get anyone to put over these guys. It’s like you need to have him lose when the losses mean [something], but it’s great for Takeshita.”

Chris Jericho was the first major name to sign with the company and became the inaugural AEW World Champion in 2019.
