5. Mike Tyson Debuts In An AEW Ring (5.8 Million Views)

In two months this clip has already racked up nearly 6 million views.

It features Jericho leading an Inner Circle Pep Rally only for Mike Tyson to make his way down to the ring with his posse in tow. Jericho tells Tyson to shut it otherwise he’ll knock his teeth down his throat. Tyson smiles and rips his shirt away Hulk Hogan style. Jericho then demands an apology for the rude interruption and doesn’t get one, so pushes Tyson into his posse, with an all-out fight commencing between the two. JR screams “All hell is breaking loose!” as Tyson and Jericho got pulled apart by the majority of the AEW roster.

It was another outright brawl to close an episode of Dynamite and worked well in garnering a huge amount of press and attention for AEW. It was obviously meant to be a spin on Tyson and Steve Austin’s conflict in the WWF in the late '90s and a follow-up to Tyson knocking Jericho out on Raw in the early '10s. Tyson is in tremendous shape at the moment for a 53-year-old and there’s talk that a Jericho and Tyson match might be on the cards later this year, possibly at Full Gear in November after Tyson’s done with his exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr. on 12 September. Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes has recently said, “I can say that there's a relationship between Mike and AEW and Mike and Tony Khan. I think that's a thread that those guys will likely pull, if not now, then in the future.”
