Action Andretti has pulled off a major upset.
Following his loss of the ROH World Championship at the recent Final Battle pay-per-view, Chris Jericho attempted to get back on track on the December 14 edition of AEW Dynamite. Instead, Jericho suffered another setback, as he was upset by independent wrestler Action Andretti in singles action.
Andretti, who was making his Dynamite debut, was able to knock off Jericho by using an array of high flying and fast paced maneuvers.
A glimmer of hope for @ActionAndretti?!
