Below are a couple of top AEW & WWE news stories of the day, featuring Cope and Chris Jericho.
• AEW’s Huge Plan For Cope After Dynasty Loss Revealed
At tonight’s AEW Dynasty PPV, Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta, Pac, & Claudio Castagnoli) defeated Rated FTR (Cope, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) to retain the AEW Trios Championship.
During the ending moments of the match, Wheeler pushed Cope (WWE Hall of Famer Edge) into Dax and then pinned Dax for the win. After the match, Cope & Cash helped up Dax and all 3 men hugged. Cope raised FTR’s hand. Dax then turned heel and laid out Cope with a Piledriver!
Dax brought two steel chairs into the ring for a Con-Chair-To and gave the second chair to Cash, as he wants Cash to hit Cope with it. Cash refused and pushed down Dax.
Cash then picked up Cope and hit Cope with the Shatter Machine along with Dax, thus turning heel as well. FTR then hit a Piledriver on top of a steel chair, followed by two Con-Chair-Tos to the Rated-R Superstar. Cope was taken to the back on a stretcher.

• “Of course I would consider going back to WWE” – Chris Jericho
At the Horror Rock and Wrestle Fest event, AEW star Chris Jericho revealed that he’s open to returning to WWE in the future.
Here’s what the first ever AEW World Champion said:
“I would have considered a return to WWE before things changed. Once again, there are two teams you can play on, which is amazing, and it’s one of the reasons why I wanted to take a chance and go to AEW in the first place, it was a real gamble.
Of course I would consider going back [to WWE]. I would also consider not going back there too. It just depends on what the situation is and what’s going on with me at the time.”
Jericho lost the ROH World Championship to Bandido at tonight’s Dynasty PPV.
