Chris Jericho challenges former WWE Superstar for blockbuster title match on Rampage

Chris Jericho has thrown down the gauntlet against former WWE Star Claudio Castagnoli on the latest edition of AEW Rampage.

The show featured a heated segment between the two veteran stars. While Claudio came out alongside Yuta to speak about the Blackpool Combat Club's future plans, he was interrupted by the Wizard.

“Iron sharpens iron… Next week, the #BlackpoolCombatClub will have TWO World Champions in its ranks.”

While Jericho suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Bryan Danielson this week, it does not seem to have squashed his spirit.

He extended the challenge to the ROH World Champion for the Grand Slam event next week.

“The one place I’ve never been World Champion is in @ringofhonor, and 7 (World Championships) isn’t enough for me… I’m going for the Ocho!”
