Another Blood & Guts Match is on the way.
On the June 1 episode of AEW Dynamite, Eddie Kingston made it clear that he wanted to fight Chris Jericho again after the JAS beat his team in the Anarchy in the Arena Match. He had William Regal tell “The Wizard” name the Blood & Guts stipulation for this bout. Though Jericho initially denied the challenge, he changed his mind after Ortiz attacked him and cut his hair. Jericho told Kingston that he’d get the match he asked for, but the former world champion also stated that he wanted to face Ortiz in a Hair vs. Hair Match.
