In the opening segment of AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, Chris Jericho defeated Claudio Castagnoli for the ROH World Championship, leaving the fans furious.

The title bout went back-and-forth and featured offenses from both men. However, in the end, Jericho's tactics prevailed again as he used referee Aubrey Edwards as a distraction.

This allowed The Wizard to hit a low blow and the Judas effect on Claudio to become the new ROH World Champion, much to the surprise of the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd.

Over on Twitter, wrestling fans were in disbelief upon seeing Jericho win the ROH World Title.

"HOLY SH*T. Chris Jericho is the new ROH World Champion?! WHY?!?! Grand Slam SOUNDS amazing and to call upon Claudio and Jericho to open the show the way they did was INCREDIBLE. I don’t care for the ROH stuff on Dynamite but my god was that a great match but WHY?!? #AEWGrandSlam."
