– Chris Jericho made his AEW Dynamite return on the “New Year’s Smash” special edition that marked the final episode on TNT before the transition to TBS next Wednesday night. “Le Champion” returned after the team of Daniel Garcia and Team 2point0 continued their post-match beatdown on Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz following their victory. Jericho sprinted to the ring with “Floyd” the baseball bat in-hand to run-off the same heel trio that attacked him in a backstage segment during his last appearance on AEW programming. Check out video highlights of Jericho’s return below. The videos also include a face-off between Kingston and himself after he made the save.
