Chris Jericho won the battle, but Eddie Kingston ended the night standing tall.
“The Wizard” and “The Mad King” have been feuding for the past several months. They have clashed in a singles bout, and they also faced off in the Anarchy in the Arena match. Kingston’s team beat The Jericho Appreciation Society in the Blood & Guts Match, but the rivalry continued to heat up. The two stars faced off in a Barbed Wire Everywhere Death Match on the “Fyter Fest Week 2” edition of AEW Dynamite on July 20.
Thanks to the interference of the Jericho Appreciation Society, Sammy Guevara, Tay Conti, and Anna Jay, “The Wizard” emerged victorious.
