This week's episode of AEW Dynamite saw Chris Jericho suffer a shocking loss to Powerhouse Hobbs. The WWE legend, who joined All Elite Wrestling when the rival promotion was launched in 2019, found himself in the middle of an interesting ratings battle between AEW and WWE's development brand NXT.
The match was incredibly one-sided, with Hobbs dominating the bout and leaving Jericho utterly decimated. Unfortunately, things didn't end there. Commentator Excalibur told viewers later in the show that Jericho had been taken to hospital due to "internal injuries" suffered in the bout.
Fortunately, the injuries appear to have been a way of writing Jericho off television so he can take time off to tour with his band Fozzy. Jericho has taken occasional breaks throughout his career to hit the road with the Judas rockers, and this looks to be a similar situation while also making Hobbs appear even more dominant.
Hobbs' big win was one of several huge surprises on Dynamite this week. Orange Cassidy regained the International Title from Rey Fenix, Hikaru Shida became a three-time AEW Women's World Champion when she dethroned Saraya, and Asuka beat rising star Roxanne Perez on WWE NXT.
It's clear that both AEW and WWE are making sure their viewers get an exciting show, and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us next week.
