A recent rumor claimed that AEW was going to book a shark-themed gimmick match for Shark Week later this month. Now we know the rumor is true.
AEW announced that Eddie Kingston will take on Chris Jericho in a Barbed Wire Deathmatch on the July 20 episode of Dynamite (Fyter Fest Week 2). The catch is that the rest of the Jericho Appreciation Society won’t be able to interfere because they’ll be locked in a shark cage.
Here’s Eddie selling you on how important it is that he makes Jericho bleed:
“Every drop of blood is a sin you committed, Chris.” After #JerichoAppreciationSociety’s assault last week against #EddieKingston’s friend @realrubysoho, @MadKing1981 vows to make @IAmJericho bleed for his transgressions.
