Aubrey Edwards like to lay down the law with Chris Jericho.
Edwards has refereed many matches from Chris Jericho, including his recent matches with former Ring Of Honor World Champions. The two are not afraid to lock horns, with the two recently exchanging chess bumps on Dynamite.
On the latest episode of AEW Unrestricted, Aubrey spoke about how much fun it is to work with Chris Jericho and recalled the chest bumping incident.
A lot of the things that I really like about working with Chris is it’s all on the fly,” she said. “He kind of plays into the chemistry that we have with each other quite a bit and we’ll do this frequently enough, where he will get a guy in the walls of Jericho, and the guy works his way to the ropes to break the hold, I count, he lets go to put his arms up in the air and acts like he’s won and I’m sitting there waiting for a cue, just looking frustrated. He’ll say to me, ‘Put my arm down,’ so I’ll put his arm down and say, ‘Hey, what are you doing? You didn’t win.’ He goes, ‘ Yeah, he tapped out.’ A couple of times, he shoved me or whatever but this last match he had with Dalton Castle, he just bumps me.
“I’m trying not to immediately laugh, because I’m like, I know the cameras on me. I don’t want to break character at all. I just kind of say, ‘What do you want me to do?’ He goes ‘Give it back. So I just chest bump him back. So it’s always great because then, it gets GIF’d and it’s sent everywhere. It’s all over Twitter. These kinds of — like you said with The Acclaimed, you don’t know what’s going to work. It just sort of happens and that’s one of the beauties of pro wrestling. You can script so much of it. But those moments that just happened in front of the crowd are unique and organic and are so great. I love working with Chris. He’s great.”
