10. Chris Jericho On Commentary

Chris Jericho returned to the AEW commentary booth last night, working most of the show before letting himself get enraged by Orange Cassidy's presence not long after 'Freshly Squeezed' had emerged from the back and pulled up a seat. They battle each other on next week's Fyter Fest conclusion.

Strutting out with a ridiculous maple leaf jacket to celebrate Canada Day, Jericho had one of the biggest, most elaborate entrances of the night. Appropriate, given his ego. He was then his typically excellent self throughout, screaming himself to the edge of hoarseness at times, but never a distraction. Jericho adds character, depth, and enthusiasm: he's outstanding at this and should consider it a full-time option after hanging up his boots.

His fascination watching Luchasaurus wrestle was particularly great. "What the hell was that?!" he shouted as the big man hit a rope-step tope, as perplexed as everyone else that the monster pulled it off.
