10 Best Chris Jericho Moments In AEW
5. Labours Of Jericho
As previously mentioned, MJF and Chris Jericho's feud helped mint the former as the promotion's future, and the labours of Jericho provided the right way to delay the blow-off match between the pair. The five matches would test the various personas that Jericho had crafted throughout his storied career before he could finally get his hands on Max in the final fight.
Shawn Spears and Wardlow of the Pinnacle were the first and fourth labours, both of which were good matches in their own right as Jericho fought from underneath to defeat the henchmen of MJF. However, it was the surprise appearances of death match legend Nick Gage and former WCW and WWE cruiserweight Juventud Guerrera that were the highlights of the storyline.
'The Painmaker' returned to AEW to face off against Gage in a superb hardcore match that was almost too gruesome for television, whilst 'Lionheart' Chris Jericho turned back time to put in a serviceable but entertaining match against Juvi. The complete collection of matches made the eventual win for Jericho a well-earned one - and the loss did not hinder 'The Devil' MJF in the slightest.
