Chris Jericho debuted a finisher move exclusively for his time in AEW, and in a recent podcast, he revealed the backstory of the move.

On one occasion, Jericho and Rafferty were sparring with each other. During this, Jericho tried a version of the spinning elbow, and it impressed him enough to make it his brand new finisher in AEW. As we all know, he named it ‘The Judas Effect.’

“My trainer Josh Rafferty and I were doing some drills and I did a spinning elbow, basically, to the face. And I thought ‘this is gonna be the new finish.”

He revealed that he wanted to debut something for AEW, even though he already had several deadly finisher moves.

“I’m gonna debut in AEW something that’s gonna be exclusive to AEW. And continue the constant evolving of Chris Jericho.”

Jericho came up with this move right before AEW’s Double or Nothing event at Las Vegas. He was scheduled to face Kenny Omega in the main event.

“If i connect with this move, I don’t think it’s gonna go well for Kenny or any other opponent…. so be aware.”

Jericho’s trainer revealed a truth about the move

However, his trainer clarified that this move is extremely technical, and most contact sport institutions do not teach his move. Hence, the fact that he picked it up promptly and decided to use it as a finisher is evidence of his immense skills inside the ring.

“A lot of people don’t know a spinning elbow technique is one of the most dangerous and deadly strikes and most martial arts don’t even teach it anymore.”
