Jon Moxley teams up with eight-time world champion against Chris Jericho and former WWE Superstar on AEW Dynamite
In this week's main event on AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated Chris Jericho and Lance Archer in an intense tag team match.
Moxley and Tanahashi will face each other at Forbidden Door on June 26 for the AEW Interim World Championship. Also, in the event, Chris Jericho will team up with Sammy Guevara and Archer's Suzuki-Gun leader, Minoru Suzuki, against Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta, and Shota Umino.
On Dynamite this week, Mox and Tana quickly charged on Jericho and Archer, with the two former AEW World Champions battling outside. Later on, The Wizard went for the Walls submission but Tanahashi countered with a roll-up for a near fall.
Jericho then nailed the Code Breaker on the former eight-time IWGP World Champion, but Moxley broke the pin. Archer then inserted himself into the match by wiping out the latter.
