During AEW Dynamite this week, the contract was signed for an Unsanctioned match between Adam Cole and Chris Jericho for Double Or Nothing.
During the segment, Chris Jericho taunted Adam Cole regarding Jericho’s orchestrated beatdown on Britt Baker a few weeks ago, and noted that there were more of the JAS and there were only two of Roderick Strong and Adam Cole.
Cole would have an ace in the hole however, as he introduced his backup as a Las Vegas native, as Sabu was introduced. He would come down to the ring, throwing a steel chair in Daddy Magic’s face.
Speaking to Brandon Walker on Rasslin, Cole commented on Sabu’s appearance.
“Oh my god, how incredible. Listen, I think over time, and this is pretty wild to think about, but when I was younger watching ECW, Sabu was one of my absolute favorites. It’s so weird to think as time goes on, because again Sabu was a student of the game, to think that I had his respect enough for him to help me with the J.A.S is pretty damn cool. It was absolutely a last minute decision. It’s great to have Roderick Strong there, but again, this match Sunday is Unsanctioned and we know that the J.A.S is going to be involved, so I took a shot in the dark. I talked to a friend of a friend, and reached out to Sabu. There’s nobody crazier or more prepared for an Unsanctioned match then Sabu. It all came together last minute man,”

As mentioned previously, Sabu will be the special enforcer for Jericho and Cole’s Unsanctioned match later on tonight.
