AEW Dynamite April 8th, 2026: WE HEAR FROM CHRIS JERICHO

[Chris]

Winning the CC is a great idea either way tho

 

[Looji Nagata]

That feels way too soon for hangman to me tbh not that I don't think it wouldn't work well, more so I just expect they plan to keep him out of the title picture way longer

I was thinking at least a year... which sometimes feels like 2-3 in Wrestling

Tony can be slow tho

I did say that when that stipulation came up and he ended up losing... just because he wasn't part of the first three and he'd fit in it perfectly.

just seems like the easiest thing to have him do after the stip too

 

[Looji Nagata]

Of course... maybe it ends up being one of those things they're keeping in their back pockets... it's still somewhat frustrating

 

[Chris]

I really wonder what led to them doing it

 

[Looji Nagata]

Exactly... maybe have him become the second Unified Champion even.

 

[Looji Nagata]

What do you mean?

 

[Chris]

What do you mean?

just like if there was something other than "I think this is a good angle" like maybe hangman requested it bc of pressure or something. Could just be pure creative tho

 

[Looji Nagata]

Claudio catching Henare... then hoisting him up into the Suplex position, while walking around the ring, just to drop him on the table standing there, without putting Henare down once...

Holy fuckin' shit

 

[Looji Nagata]

OH... yea, might be. He was in the Title scene or at least Title scene "adjacent" for a long ass time without really going a bit lower in the card, so I'm sure it had something to do with that.

 

[Looji Nagata]

Empire v DCF is just... fuck yeah

I wish we'd get an Akira v Garcia or Yuta match... especially if they'd give them a good chunk of time.

Also... gimme Henare v Brody at Forbidden Door, ya cowards

 

[Hoss]

Akira vs. Garcia or Yuta sounds like something they'd throw onto a U.S. card. Don't they have the G1 kickoff coming soon in Chicago

Might be... I'd also be down seeing Akira challenging Lee Moriarty tbh
