Sammy Guevara came out with a microphone with words for Chris Jericho!
Sammy: “You’re pissing me off and I want to punch you in the face.”
Jericho: “It’s funny you say that. I want to punch you in the face, too.”
Sammy: “I want to punch you right now.”
Jericho: “Let’s be honest here. We’re obviously getting on each other’s nerves and that’s okay because we’re brothers. We’re on our way to becoming AEW World Tag Team Champions but we still can’t seem to get over this little bit of animosity. We need to get this out of our system. Do you agree?”
Sammy: “I agree.”
Jericho: “So why don’t we have a match against each other. That way we can get all this crap out of our system.”
Sammy: “Now the question is where do you want to do that?”
Jericho: “How about one of the biggest shows in AEW history? New York City. Grand Slam.”
Sammy: “Hell yeah, let’s do it.”
