10 Things We Learned From Chris Jericho's AEW All Out Podcast

1. Why Kenny Omega & PAC Weren't Happy Backstage

Possibly the best story Jericho told on his post-All Out report podcast was about Kenny Omega and PAC.

The pair hadn't been AEW's original plan, and so they didn't quite have the benefit of a heated rivalry to back them up like Omega and Jon Moxley would've. Even so, they're world class workers, and they expect great things from themselves every single time they hit the ring. At All Out, those expectations fell slightly short.

Jericho recalls seeing both acting pretty unhappy backstage following their (still brilliant) undercard effort. Apparently, they were running short on time mid-match and were instructed to cut some spots out so they wouldn't over-run too much and impact other matches to come. That meant Omega and PAC didn't get to do everything they wanted on the night.

This sudden alteration left them frustrated (they had to know that they were smashing it when the ref leaned in to inform them that time was running out). For the record, Jericho didn't watch the match. He could tell it was damn good though, if only 'cause crowd reactions shook the building.
