This week on AEW Dynamite, there was a debate between Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy ahead of their rematch on next week’s show. The debate included a guest moderator.
Former WCW President/former WWE Executive Director Eric Bischoff appeared on the show as the moderator. This was a homecoming of sorts for Bischoff because it’s the first time he has appeared on TNT since WCW was purchased by WWE in early 2001.
Bischoff was on to ask questions for both men to answer. Cassidy didn’t answer most of the questions but he did answer a question about global warming and he was passionate with the answer to the last question on why next week’s match means so much to him.
The segment ended with Bischoff declaring Cassidy as the winner of the debate and then Jericho and Jake Hager attacking Cassidy.
