Tonight’s AEW Grand Slam Dynamite featured Claudio Castagnoli defending his ROH world championship against the great Chris Jericho, the Demo God’s first time ever challenging for the prestigious ROH title.
The bout was a competitive back and forth as both men are excellent in-ring workers, but in the end Jericho would hit a low-blow and his signature Judas Effect finisher on the Swiss-Superman to win the match and become an eight-time world champion. Highlights from the matchup are below.
