Chris Jericho Says Eddie Kingston Would Have Won Their Match If He Didn’t Have An AEW World Title Match

Top AEW Star Chris Jericho took to an episode of his "Talk Is Jericho" podcast, where he talked about a number of topics such as how his Barbed Wire Everywhere Match against Eddie Kingston back in August was cut short because some people might have gone a little bit longer than they were supposed to with their segments or matches, so they were short on time.

Chris Jericho said:

“This was a really good match, we got cut short at the end, which was kind of a drag. Super violent, lots of gimmicks and barbed wire. We were getting rushed at the end. It’s live TV and some other people might have gone long with segments, whatever it was. I think we only had 13 or 14 minutes to go through this thing.”

Chris Jericho also talked about how Eddie Kingston would have won the Barbed Wire Everywhere Match if he didn't have an AEW World Championship Match against Jon Moxley.

Chris Jericho said:

“For me, because (CM) Punk was the champ and he got hurt and then Tony (Khan) wanted Mox [Jon Moxley] and I to work for the title, I couldn’t lose that match because I’m challenging for the championship. Had I not been challenging for the championship, Eddie probably would have won. He still got the moral victory when he tossed me into the barbed wire at the end. Even though it was rushed, we still had to get it done.”
