Big Bill issues a big challenge.
On Saturday's AEW Collision, Big Bill challenged Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara to face him & Ricky Starks, the reigning AEW Tag Team Champions, in a street fight at AEW Battle of the Belts IX.
Jericho is still owed an AEW Tag Team Championship match as a result of him and Kenny Omega defeated The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) at AEW Full Gear. Jericho & Omega were going to challenge Starks & Bill at AEW Worlds End, but Omega was diagnosed with diverticulitis and could not compete.
Jericho said he would find a partner and was still coming after the AEW Tag Team Title. Jericho and Guevara reunited ahead of AEW Worlds End, and Guevara pinned Starks in an eight-man tag team match at Worlds End.
The #AEW Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks and Big Bill lay out a HUGE challenge for Sammy Guevara and Chris Jericho.
