In the electrifying world of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), a recent incident involving wrestling icon Chris Jericho has ignited a firestorm of speculation and controversy.
On the latest edition of AEW Dynamite, Jericho found himself at the center of attention, not for his in-ring prowess, but for an unexpected encounter with pyrotechnics during Kenny Omega’s entrance.
Initially reported by Chris Jericho himself, the incident was described as a harrowing pyro burn that occurred during the Wednesday night broadcast. However, in a surprising turn of events, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has now thrown a curveball into the narrative, stating that Jericho’s claims may have been a tad exaggerated.
According to the publication, the spark that hit Jericho’s arm resulted in no real damage, and the former AEW World Champion was apparently “having fun on the internet with it” before the story spiraled out of control.

The spotlight was on Jericho as he joined forces with Omega, Kota Ibushi, and Paul Wight in a chaotic “Like a Dragon Gaiden” street fight against formidable opponents Brian Cage and the Don Callis Family members, Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, and Powerhouse Hobbs.
Despite the apparent pyro mishap, Jericho, wisely attired in a suit for the street fight, managed to escape any significant burns.
Adding fuel to the fire, Omega secured a victory for the team by pinning Cage with his devastating One Winged Angel move in the center of the ring.
This triumph sets the stage for an even more intense showdown at AEW Full Gear 2023, where Jericho, fondly known as “The Ocho,” will once again join forces with his Golden Jets partner, Kenny Omega.
The upcoming battle is not just about victory; it holds the fate of the tag team in the balance. If Jericho and Omega emerge victorious, they will claim The Young Bucks’ spot as the number one contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

However, a loss would force them to disband their formidable partnership, marking a seismic shift in the AEW tag team landscape.
As the wrestling world eagerly anticipates the clash at Full Gear, emotions are running high. Fans are torn between the excitement of witnessing these wrestling titans in action and the fear of a potential end to a legendary tag team.
The unpredictable nature of AEW, coupled with the backstage drama surrounding Jericho’s pyro incident, has turned the spotlight onto the forthcoming match with an intensity rarely seen in the squared circle.
