Watch: More Footage of AEW Fan Being Dragged Out of Arena After Trying to Jump in The Ring

This week’s AEW Dynamite saw Chris Jericho and MJF briefly have their face-to-face segment interrupted when a fan jumped onto the elevated entrance ramp and tried to make his way into the ring. The security team inside the James L. Knight Center quickly grabbed the man, but not before Jericho managed to get a punch in before he was carried away. The encounter was briefly shown on screen, but since then several videos of the incident have made their way online.

Jericho then joked about letting the fan come in and beat Friedman up before the two got back on topic. MJF made a special stipulation for “Le Champion” by saying the only way he’ll get another one-on-one match with him is if he wins for consecutive matches, each of which will have a stipulation chosen by Friedman. Jericho agreed and started referring to the challenge as the “Labors of Jericho.”

The episode also saw the arrival of former NXT Champion Aleister Black, now going by the name Malakai Black. The Dutch star was released by WWE just last month and, reportedly, was able to avoid the 90-day “No Compete” clause that comes standard with WWE contracts.

HOLY S**T … Malakai Black ( @TommyEnd) has arrived in @AEW!
