Chris Jericho Wins Bloody Barbed Wire Match at Fyter Fest Week 2

Though it may not have been obvious from the state of him after the match was over, Chris Jericho defeated Eddie Kingston in the main event of AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest Week 2. Jericho spent most of the match getting his ass kicked by Eddie Kingston with the Jericho Appreciation Society trapped in a shark cage suspended above the crowd. Unfortunately, AEW management was really sleeping on the job because they forgot to lock Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti in there. Maybe they aren’t official members of the group?

Whatever the reason, Conti came out to attack Ruby Soho, who held both the key to the shark cage and the controls to lower it to the ground. Anna Jay ran out, supposedly to stop Conti, but ended up siding with her, allowing Conti to free the group. AFter a brief beatdown on Kingston, the Blackpool Combat Club came out to neutralize the Jericho Appreciation Society. However, when Kingston seemed to have the match won, Guevara interfered to cost him the victory.

Despite getting the win, Jericho still ended up tossed off the ring apron and into a barbed wire spider-web to end Fyter Fest Night 3.
