Chris Jericho made his PWG debut at Sunday night’s Battle of Los Angeles event in a surprise appearance when he showed up alongside the entire Jericho Appreciation Society faction.
The former AEW World Heavyweight Champion teamed with JAS’s Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara, Matt Menard, and Angelo Parker against Jonathan Gresham, Evil Uno, SB Kento, Michael Oku, and Kevin Blackwood in a 10-man tag bout.
Anna Jay, Tay Melo, and Jake Hager were at ringside. Jericho pinned Blackwood after hitting the Judas Effect.
The bout was set up after an angle involving Garcia, who was announced as teaming with Gresham and Blackwood against Shun Skywalker, Uno, and Oku, but Garcia said that he only teams with sports entertainers.
Anyway, Gresham, Player Uno, Oku, Kento, & Blackwood vs JAS with Jake Hager, Tay and Anna Jay #PWG #bola2023 pic.twitter.com/NWWE2mVJuJ
