Juicymania is running wild; legendary luchador Juventud Guerrera made his AEW debut the special “Homecoming” episode of Dynamite. He faced Chris Jericho in the third “Labour” MJF has set up for the former AEW World Champion.

Guerrera quickly showcased his classic high-flying offense, as he was flying around the ring like it was 1998. The two men, who had a lengthy rivalry back in their WCW days, threw everything they had at each other. At one point fairly early, Jericho hit a diving crossbody off the top rope and nearly earned the pin, per MJF’s stipulation. (Jericho could only win with a move off the top rope.)
Jericho hit the Judas Effect, which likely would have earned him the three count, but he hit it from the ground. He then climbed up top and hit a diving Judas Effect for the win.
SUPER JUDAS EFFECT for the win!

After the match, Wardlow attacked Jericho and Guerrera; the big man left both legends lying. MJF then grabbed a microphone and told Jericho that Wardlow is the fourth “Labour.” As for the stipulation, MJF stated that he will personally serve as the referee for the match.
