Chris Jericho Sets Match With Ricochet After Heated AEW Dynamite Confrontation

Chris Jericho didn’t just make news about his future on AEW Dynamite — he ended up booking himself into a fight.

Jericho came to the ring to talk about signing a new AEW deal and reflecting on his history with the company. The segment was meant to focus on his commitment to AEW moving forward, but things quickly took a turn once Ricochet showed up and interrupted him.

Ricochet went straight at Jericho, telling him he shouldn’t even be thinking about continuing in AEW and questioning why he would want to stick around after being away from action. The confrontation turned tense fast, with Ricochet openly challenging Jericho’s place in the company.

Jericho didn’t hesitate to respond. Instead of backing down, he revealed that his new contract includes a special clause allowing him to choose his own opponent whenever he wants.

That’s when the situation escalated.

Jericho immediately named Ricochet as his target, turning the argument into an official match announcement. With that decision, Jericho vs. Ricochet was locked in for AEW Dynasty, transforming what started as a war of words into a confirmed showdown.

The moment shifted the focus of the entire segment. What began as a contract announcement ended with a major match being set, adding another high-stakes bout to the Dynasty lineup and giving both men a personal reason to step into the ring.

With tensions already running high between them, this newly announced match now carries real momentum heading into Dynasty, and it could easily become one of the most talked-about fights on the card.
