Chris Jericho Was Originally Scheduled To Drop The Ring Of Honor World Title At AEW Full Gear

According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jericho was supposed to lose the title at the November 18th Full Gear pay-per-view. Meltzer revealed that Sam Linsky, SVP of programming on TNT and TBS, was initially opposed to Jericho appearing at Final Battle. However, everyone eventually ‘got on the same page’ when it came to Jericho wrestling on the ROH pay-per-view.

Jericho defended his ROH World Title against Castagnoli, Bryan Danielson, and Sammy Guevara at Full Gear. Several titles changed hands, including the ROH Tag Team Championship, which The Briscoes won from FTR in a double dog collar match, at ROH Final Battle. Dax Harwood has since reflected on this fight and described it as his masterpiece.

We will have to see what’s next for Chris Jericho after dropping the championship.
