What a banger. I actually thought it was better than their first match in places. Jericho really showed why he's still where he is and I liked the story of him out-wrestling Mox with his old persona but ultimately losing gas. Mox vs. Punk is going to be special.

"Walls of Jericho as a rest hold" was unintentionally hilarious, but yeah, that was a fun match.

That was an incredible match. AEW had two TV match of the year candidates within a week of each other and they couldn't have been more different.
Commentary really helped contribute to the match too, like musing on how Moxley was able to kick out of the Judas Effect. And seeing Jericho bust out the Liontamer is always a treat.

I thought it was an incredible match. PPV caliber. Best Moxley’s looked as champ, Jericho is out-of-this-world for performing like that at his age. Didn’t even mind the blood cause the match had lots of great wrestling and character stuff.
Even Sammy Guevidiot couldn’t ruin this match.

This is why I’m glad Jericho is still there. Dude can still go and give great moments sometimes.

Loved it. Loooooved it. Everything about Jericho, from his retro look and entrance (TK getting the rights to his ECW White Zombie theme was *chef's kiss*) to the style he worked, was on a different level than usual. And Mox, the lover of violence, just barely ekes out a win while also kicking out of the Judas Effect to show his win wasn't a fluke...just wonderful stuff all around.

Absolutely incredible PPV main event quality. One of my favorite AEW matches. The visual at the end was absolutely perfect. Just an all out war.

Needed more Evenflow, but it was definitely a banger.

I didn't like Mox kicking out of the Judas Effect but other than that what I caught was great.

Say what you will about Jericho, but this showed why he's still around. Not many that age are able to do THAT.

Jericho continuing to show why he’s one of the greatest to ever do it.
Even at 51, he’s still got the ability to be able to compete at that level. And in the persona that inspired my username, no less.

Better than their Revolution 2020 outing I thought, and I loved that match. Last night's had such a 'big match feel'. Felt epic, and it told such a great story. Jericho and Mox both played their roles to perfection too.

I know Jericho's a guy who doesn't want to live in the past, but I kinda want the Lionheart persona to stick around a little longer.
Also, Mox is the epitome of an ace. That f***in' guy DELIVERS.

It was a great match. Props to Jericho for changing up his style enough for it to noticeably be a Lionheart-style match instead of just a regular Jericho match.
I popped for the cocky pin.

Jericho's eye for detail is second to none, and I love that he can still pull these kind of performances out of the bag when he gets the chance.

I'm hoping it becomes the character he brings out when he means serious business and they retcon the silly Painmaker thing.

Jericho can still go at a high rate but the man can still kick rocks

I didn't like Mox kicking out of the Judas Effect but other than that what I caught was great. This is where I'm at also. Once he kicked out of it I just laughed out loud and thought to myself "of course he got to kick out of it...of course he did..."

I was almost hoping for a Malenko appearance to confront Jericho somehow.
