Ricky Starks and Chris Jericho will indeed be wrestling each other on the first AEW Dynamite episode of 2023.
They exchanged words on last week’s show and now will meet in a singles match on this upcoming show as Jericho offered Starks the chance to join the Jericho Appreciation Society. However, Starks turned him down and insulted him. The JAS beat him up until Action Andretti made the save.
Starks initially challenged Jericho to match in the promo segment on Dynamite, but the match wasn’t confirmed until AEW posted about it on social media on Tuesday and Starks later shared the match graphic.
This will be the first time Jericho and Starks have shared a ring in AEW. No other matches have been confirmed for the show.
