The Inner Circle's Chris Jericho will meet Orange Cassidy at AEW's Fyter Fest, a match made official at the end of last night's episode of Dynamite.

In the show's closer, Jericho & Sammy Guevara were defeated by Chuck Taylor & Trent, after the latter was tripped up by a clumsy cameraman. Following the contest, said cameraman revealed himself to be Cassidy, who then jumped the ring and attacked 'Le Champion'.

As Dynamite went off the air, the announcers confirmed that the feuding pair would meet at AEW's two-day event, commencing 1 July.

Meanwhile, thanks to winning last night's main event, Best Friends now go on to face AEW Tag Team Champions Hangman Page and Kenny Omega at Fyter Fest.
