At AEW Blood & Guts, Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Jericho battled to the top of the cage and pulled off a swinging memorable spot.
While Sammy Guevara was pushed from the top of the cage by Eddie Kingston, Jericho remained up top, but was swung around by Claudio Castagnoli. The spot could have gone wrong had there been a slip or accidental release, but fortunately, the performers were fine.
Speaking to Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston, Claudio reflected on the spot.
"Matches like that, you want to familiarize yourself with the structure. It was, if we're going to do it, that was the only place where I felt comfortable because of the structure. There is so much stuff up there. The way the cage is welded together and lowered with the chains and how it's rigged. The way it looked and the way it was shot, it was awesome. It was one of those moments that will hopefully live on for a long time. It was freaking awesome. It was freaking awesome for me, I don't think he enjoyed it too much. The margin for error is really small. There is no net. Literally, there is no net," said Claudio.
Claudio picked up the victory for his team at Blood & Guts, forcing Matt Menard to submit on top of the cage with the sharpshooter.
