Tommy Billington learned a lesson from The Learning Tree.
On the August 21st episode of AEW Dynamite, "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington faced FTW Champion Chris Jericho. Billington delivered a valiant effort, but interference from Big Bill helped Jericho emerge victorious.
In a digital exclusive, Billington commented on his loss.
"What’s going through my head is, I let my people down. It’s been my dream for a very long time to wrestle in front of my home country. Today, I was on the cusp of victory. I got too carried away. Chris caught me with a Codebreaker and got the victory. I’m sick of outside interference. Next time you see me, I’m coming to kill. Tom Billington from here forward is coming to invade, kill, and conquer," Billington said.
"Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington vows it's time to INVADE, KILL and CONQUER after getting taught a tough lesson from "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho in front of his hometown fans in the UK!
