Picture the scene: A smiling Chris Jericho sits next to Tony Khan at the post-All In press conference and patronises Will Ospreay with lines about how he's a "good kid" and "has serious potential". That latter point has always been accurate, but not pulling the trigger on Ospreay come Sunday would be a massive error.

Will has a legit shot at becoming one of AEW’s key players next year if he fancies it. Besides, Jericho doesn’t need to win many matches to remain relevant with the fanbase. People almost expect that he'll taste defeat on supershows then try to cook up a way to restore his battered pride these days.

Jericho winning would be a mistake, but don't rule it out. All Elite tried to elevate Action Andretti by having him beat the legend, but they didn't follow up with anything meaningful. This is their chance to do that, learn from their mistakes and do right by Ospreay in front of 80,000+.

Don't screw it up.
