Chris Jericho Says Action Andretti Feud Will End After Revolution
Chris Jericho joined AEW in January 2019 following his departure from WWE in 2018 and subsequent return to NJPW. He has competed in numerous feuds during his time in AEW.
His most recent feud has seen him engaging with Ricky Starks and Action Andretti. While speaking on the In The Kliq podcast, Le Champion made it clear that his feud with Action Andretti will end after AEW Revolution.
“A week before Dallas, I said ‘Okay, we’ll see you this week.’ Then he came into my dressing room and I said ‘I’m working with you tonight.’ He goes ‘Oh my god, this is great.’ Then I say ‘and you’re going over.’ This kid, he was cool, but you could see his face is like are you f*cking kidding me? Here’s the story. We’re gonna treat this like a squash match. I’m just gonna beat you up. It’s gonna be like a squash match you’ve saw 1000 times before until I hit you with a Codebreaker, and then you’re gonna kick out and that’s where the fun is gonna start. It was a great moment, it’s the biggest upset in pro wrestling history. It’s one of the greatest moments in Dynamite history, but how do you follow it up? I had an idea, we’ll start with Starks but Andretti will still be involved and we’ll have him involved with Sammy [Guevara] and Danny [Garcia] and now he’s a guy. He’s a guy on the show.
After Revolution, our story is probably gonna be done for now, Action Andretti and Jericho. By the way, I never got the win back. I don’t need to. I never need to beat Action Andretti ever, nor will I ever. I will never beat Action Andretti, I’m telling you that right now. Now he has to go out on his own, but we had a great three month story. It was a great start for this kid. Now the dust is gonna settle, it’s kinda up to him.”
