Did...did Jericho just spoil the first set of AEW TV tapings via his podcast?

The way Ortiz and Santana (formerly known as LAX in Impact Wrestling) debuted at All Out hints that he might've. The ex-TNA boys burst onto the All Elite scene by attacking both The Lucha Bros and Young Bucks after their ladder war was over. AEW's Twitter page also put up a shot of Ortiz and Santana standing over Nick and Matt Jackson.

Current booking calls for a six-man tag-team match on the 2 October debut episode of AEW TV on TNT. Right now, it's The Bucks and Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho and two mystery partners. By revealing that he filmed some post-show promos with the newcomers, Jericho may have shot AEW's load before they were ready.

It's not set in stone, but the match could end up being Omega and The Bucks vs. Jericho, Ortiz and Santana. The question is, would that be a bit of a letdown to fans expecting bigger names? The one-time LAX are hardly going to pop a big rating, no offence.
