#3 GCW World Champion threatens to end Chris Jericho's AEW career

GCW World Champion Nick Gage recently sent a chilling warning to AEW star Chris Jericho, claiming to retire him if the money offered on the table is right.

During Night Two of the Fyter Fest edition, Chris Jericho overcame the first chapter of the "Five Labors of Jericho" that Le Champion must overcome to earn a match against MJF.

Following his victory, MJF stunned fans in attendance by introducing Nick Gage as Jericho's next opponent. Soon after, the company made the match official for next week's Fight For The Fallen special episode of AEW Dynamite.

MJF added fuel to the fire by offering a vast sum of money to Nick Gage if he defeats Chris Jericho. The Deathmatch wrestling legend has now accepted the offer.

Taking to Twitter earlier today, Nick Gage stated that in some cases money comes into play. He further added that he wouldn't hesitate to end the career of AEW star Chris Jericho if the money offered to him felt right:

"Yea i just want everyone to know me & MJF aint boys most of the time id smack a dude like him around but sometimes in the streets $ talks and ill def accept a large amount of $ to make chris jericho bleed & if the price is right ill end his career just bein honest sorry bud MDK," Nick Gage wrote.

MJF has possibly played the trump card here, it remains to be seen whether Le Champion will be able to overcome this hurdle or not.
