Chris Jericho successfully defended the AEW World Championship for the first time on Wednesday night, as he took down the young Darby Allin in a Philadelphia Street Fight. After utilizing a steel chair and kendo stick, Jericho rolled out the ring and pulled out a roll of duct tape. He taped Allin’s hands behind his back, giving the champ the perfect opening to pelt him with strikes. Surprisingly this didn’t stop Allin’s offense, as the young man as was able to his Jericho with a Lionseult, a dropkick and multiple dives before the champ planted him with a Black Tiger Bomb onto his skateboard.

Allin dodged Jericho’s attempt to use a chair and hopped up to the top turnbuckle to try his Coffin Drop finisher, but he was knocked off by an interfering Jake Hager. Jericho saw the opening and locked in the Walls of Jericho, which prompted the referee to ring the bell.
