Summary

Ricochet challenged Chris Jericho to a Stadium Stampede match at AEW Double Or Nothing during this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.

The segment centered on Jericho and The Demand before Ricochet brought up Jericho's role in introducing Stadium Stampede at Double Or Nothing in 2020. From there, he pushed for the match to return at this year's pay-per-view, with The Demand also mocking the idea that Jericho could find a full team to stand with him.

The scene turned physical when The Demand beat down Jericho. The Hurt Syndicate then ran in to make the save.

How the challenge was set up

Ricochet issued the challenge even though he and GOA still need two more partners of their own for the bout. That leaves both sides with roster spots to fill if the match officially moves forward for Double Or Nothing.

The announcement adds another major piece to AEW's pay-per-view picture, with Jim Ross also planning to be at Double or Nothing later this month.

What The Hurt Syndicate's save could mean

Jericho now has a Stadium Stampede challenge on the table, and the immediate backup from The Hurt Syndicate gives AEW an obvious direction to explore as teams start to take shape.

That does not confirm Jericho's final lineup, but it does put focus on who will stand with him if the match is made official. On Ricochet's side, AEW also has room to build anticipation around the final two members of The Demand's team.
