Chris Jericho Rambles About His Upcoming FTW Title Match at Double or Nothing 2024, HOOK & Katsuyori Shibata Responds Beating Up The Learning Tree

Friday’s taped AEW Rampage show featured Chris Jericho giving a promo hyping up his upcoming FTW Championship Three-way match at AEW Double or Nothing 2024.

After some rambling about his upcoming match, Jericho started to mock Katsuyori Shibata over what happened the last time the two competed against each other leading to Jericho getting interrupted by Shibata’s music. Shibata came out and engaged in a brawl with Big Bill resulting in Shibata beating up Big Bill on his way to the back. While Shibata was beating up Big Bill, Jericho became distracted long enough for a mysterious hooded person grabbing Jericho from the barricade and locking him in a sleeper trying to drag him away as AEW security rushed out to break it up.

Katuyori Shibata and HOOK are DONE listening to “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho!
