UNREAL! Chris Jericho Survives Wardlow in the Fourth Labor of Jericho on AEW Dynamite
MJF had been putting former AEW Champion Chris Jericho through gruesome matches and is bent on making the life of ‘Le Champion’ miserable. On this week’s AEW Dynamite from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we saw Jericho fighting against his last ‘labor’ – Wardlow.
Jericho’s fight against Wardlow was the fourth installment in the ‘Five labors of Jericho’ before he could wrestle against MJF. Jericho finally conquered his fourth labor to MJF’s surprise and put an end to this week’s torture.

Jericho has now defeated Shawn Spears, Nick Gage, Juventud Guerrera, and Wardlow to get to MJF for next week.
Chris Jericho conquers the fourth labor
Before the main event between Jericho and Wardlow, earlier at the event, MJF reminds Chris Jericho that he’s already defeated him twice, and he has yet to get his first win against him.
It’s time for the Fourth Labor of @IAmJericho. Could it be the FINAL Labour of Jericho?

Finally, we got to see Jericho and Wardlow inside the ring just moments away from their face-off. As soon as the bell rang, Jericho made quick attacks and even delivered a ‘codebreaker’ but it could only keep Wardlow down for one count.
However, that early ‘codebreaker’ ticked Wardlow off and he rained heavy punishment on the ‘Demo God’. After a few suplexes and Irish whips, Wardlow started delivering back-to-back powerbombs even the commentary lost the count for it.

Throughout the match, MJF found himself involved in the match in some capacity as an outside alias to Warlow where he would choke or rake Jericho’s eyes whenever the referee is distracted.

However, these distractions became a pivot point in the match as the referee caught MJF slipping a diamond ring to Wardlow and immediately dismisses him by the ringside.
While the referee was dealing with MJF, Jericho swings a baseball bat on Wardlow and catches him with a ‘Judas Effect’ pinning him clean.

After the match, Shawn Spears jumps comes down, and attack Jericho; however, Sammy Guevara runs down and takes down Spears. Nonetheless, MJF gets back in the ring, locks in the ‘Fujiwara Armbar’ on Jericho’s bad arm.
He’s done it! @IAmJericho survives and he will face @The_MJF for the Fifth Labour of Jericho!

He then grabs the mic and says no Judas Effect for their match next week, if Jericho uses it MJF wins. He further added that Jericho will not be allowed to play his theme song, and is coming out to dead silence next week.
