Chris Jericho's latest AEW run is starting with a loss.
The former World Champion returned to the company after a year long absence during the April 1 Dynamite. He brought back his popular WWE gimmick and then picked Ricochet as his opponent for Dynasty.
Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona accompanied Ricochet for this match, and they tried everything they could to help The Demand's leader win the bout. At one point, Ricochet used the referee, Aubrey Edwards, as a weapon.
When Chris Jericho tried to counter with a Walls of Jericho, Toa ran interference, and Kaun threw Y2J into the turnbuckle. Though Ricochet still failed to get the pin after delivering a standing shooting star press, and the match continued.
The ending of the bout saw Chris finally locking in the Walls after countering a Shooting Star Press into a Codebreaker. Though his opponent smartly slid out of the ring to avoid a loss.
Ricochet then got the upper hand again and hit Spirit Gun. Gates of Agony stopped him from going for the pin, however, and gestured towards the ropes. The One and Only understood the assignment, and he hit the Lionsault to finally pin Chris Jericho.

There is no word on where the Attitude Era star will go from here, but it'll be interesting to see how Jericho recovers from this loss.
