Chris Jericho and Adam Cole raise their stakes for AEW Double or Nothing
The Wizard and BayBay have been at odds with each other for weeks. Things got extremely personal when Jericho made Cole watch Britt Baker beat to the inch of her life by The Outcasts (Saraya, Ruby Soho and Toni Storm).
The two men appeared inside the ring to sign the contract for their Unsanctioned Match at AEW Double or Nothing 2023. Cole said he couldn’t wait to beat Jericho for what he did to his girlfriend during a previous episode of Dynamite.
The Owen Hart Cup winner then introduced Sabu. The ECW legend walked to the ring and immediately joined Cole and Roderick Strong in taking out the Jericho Appreciation Society. Sabu was then announced as the special enforcer for the match this Sunday.
A man that @IAmJericho knows VERY well... it's #SABU!!!
