They can move up and down the card at various points in their career but at some point, someone has to get a special win over another star. We saw that this week on national television and now we know something else about how the whole thing came together.

This week on AEW Dynamite, Action Andretti made his debut on the she and defeated Chris Jericho in an upset. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Jericho himself came up with the idea for Andretti to defeat him.

However, Jericho was forced to wait until the end of his feud with Claudio Castagnoli before he could go through with his plans. AEW has since announced that Andretti has been signed to the company.

Opinion: What happened this week on Dynamite was a very cool moment and felt like AEW was actually making a star. That isn’t something you see very often and you certainly don’t see it happen with someone like Jericho. They did something cool this week and it wound up being a special moment. Now just follow up on the idea and see how far you can take the whole thing.
