Jericho's entrance shows off his different gimmicks over the years: lionheart, light-up jacket, and the list. Omega has a new theme for AEW. There's a cracker barrel in the ring before the match. The referee goes to shove it out under the bottom rope, but is having trouble. Jericho finally goes over, lifts it and puts it between the bottom and middle rope. Then tells points at his mind to the referee before going back to his corner.
.@KennyOmegamanX can do this all day... and you can't escape! #AEWDoN

Jericho with an early slap to Omega and Omega slaps him right back. Jericho with a shoulder block sending Omega to the mat, but then eats some chops from Omega. Jericho in the corner, eats a back elbow, tries for a v-trigger, nobody home. Jericho with more chops to Omega. The two brawl out on the floor, Jericho does his classic "takes the camera" spot. Back in the ring, Omega hits you can't escape on Jericho. Big chops by both Omega and Jericho. Omega's nose is bleeding now. After Jericho got a two-count part of the crowd did the "too sweeeet!" thing and Jericho flipped that section off.
And @KennyOmegamanX follows that with a diabolical diving double stomp! #AEWDoN

A table is pulled out from under the ring by Jericho, Omega kicks the table back into Omega, then flips down on the table and Jericho. Omega dumps the table down on Jericho then hits a diving double stomp on the table down on Jericho! Back in the ring, Jericho is put up on the second turnbuckle, Omega looking for a suplex, Jericho fights out of it. Omega hits a super belly-to-back suplex. Jericho looks for lionsault, knees up and Jericho eats a v-trigger. Omega looks for one winged angel, Jericho slips out the back, nails a release overhead suplex. Jericho goes for a lionsault with a rough ending, goes for another and hits Omega clean that time, cover, two.
.@IAmJericho fights out of the Tiger Driver and sends Kenny plummeting through the table! #AEWDoN

Codebreaker blocked, Omega looks for a move, but gets back body dropped down and through a table that was set up on the floor. Jericho with a springboard dropkick, catching Omega right in the face. Omega and Jericho end up on the top rope again, Omega punches Jericho right in the face, sending him back in the ring. Omega dives and eats a codebreaker, cover, very close three. Crowd with "Jericho! / Let's go Kenny!" chants. Snap dragon suplex on Jericho, and another one. V-trigger attempt, Jericho blocks and goes into the walls of Jericho.
Omega nearly gets to the ropes, Jericho pulls him back and really locks in the move for a moment, but Omega rolls and kicks Jericho. V-trigger catches Jericho flush. One winged angel, nope, Jericho tried for a DDT and didn't quite get it. They basically did the spot over again a few moments later. Jericho with a codebreaker and hits the judas effect (spinning back elbow), cover, 1-2-3!
Winner: Chris Jericho via Pinfall (Will face Adam Page for the AEW World Championship at a later date.)
- Post-match, he tells the crowd they can boo him all they want, but he knows it's his time now. Some people try to cheer and he tells them to shut up. "Chris Jericho is AEW." He says it's not a company for the fans, it's a company for him. Before he could get one, Jon Moxley (fka WWE's Dean Ambrose) came out through the crowd and gave Jericho dirty deeds! He then gave one to the referee in the ring and attempted to land one on Omega, but the two ended up brawling a bit before they got to the stage where Moxley finished off Omega.
JON MOXLEY HAS JOINED #AEW! What a finish to #AEWDON! Grand slam home run!@WIncRebel @AEWrestling @JonMoxley pic.twitter.com/yPKNtPlbnt
