Chris Jericho lost what he had labeled as a “tune-up” match at AEW’s Winter is Coming this week. “The Ocho” dropped the AEW World Championship to Claudio Castagnoli at Final Battle this past Saturday and was still noticeably angry about the loss days later. He took on a local talent, Action Andretti, and it first it looked like it would be a normal squash match when he landed a Codebreaker early. But Andretti kicked out, and eventually rallied his way into hitting a Standing Shooting Star Press and pinning the eight-time former world champion.
