Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy will be squaring off for the third time at AEW All Out on September 5th. It is being called the rubber match for their feud.
Their match at the event will be a Mimosa Mayhem match, which is an interesting concept that Chris Jericho came up with.
On his Saturday Night Special, Chris Jericho revealed how he came up with this new match idea. Here is what he said:
“It’s something we came up with where you can only win by pinfall, submission, or by throwing someone into a vat of mimosa, so, I can’t wait for you guys to see what we have come up with. I got the idea kind of coming from those old Atsushi Onita exploding, barbed wire deathmatch sort of things.”
“[There should be] a lot of suspense, like a battle royal when you get thrown out, holding onto the ropes, and that sort of thing. Of course, is someone is able to throw the other in the pit, the vat, the container of mimosa, then they’re the winner. So of course it makes perfect sense for this storyline, this feud with Orange Cassidy. Obviously he’s Orange Juice and I am ‘A little bit of the bubbly’, the champagne. So we were trying to think of some cool ideas and that popped into my head, and I thought it could be a fun match with a lot of twists, and turns, and false finishes, and that sort of thing.”
“There’s going to be two vats of orange juice on each side of the ring, and one open side if someone is going to do a dive. The great AEW production crew is working on that right now, putting together this amazing design. We’ve got such a great group of guys and girls on the team that can create all this stuff and do all this great work, so I’m really excited to see what they come up with. We’ve had a few sketches and few designs and all that, but if I showed you my original sketch, you’d probably be laughing at how basic it was.
It seems Jericho certainly has a lot planned for the huge match. We will have to see who is the winner at AEW All Out.
