AEW Blood & Guts featured a match between The Pinnacle and The Inner Circle. However, more than the match itself, the ending caught fans’ attention. MJF dropped Chris Jericho from the roof of the steel cage as the latter fell on a table and was motionless for quite some time.

The idea was to not show Jericho on screen for two weeks to make it seem like it injured he was injured during the fall. However, Jericho appeared on AEW Dynamite this week with his left elbow in a brace, hinting at a legitimate injury.

It’s possible Jericho has suffered a fracture on his elbo, and might not take part in any in-ring action for a while. However, he might continue to be a part of segments and promos.
