As seen during the December 14th 2022 “Winter is Coming” edition of AEW Dynamite, newcomer Action Andretti scored an upset victory over Chris Jericho. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com discussed Andretti’s story…

“The story behind this is that Action Andretti….had a match on one of the streaming shows (Dark episode that aired on October 7) against QT Marshall, and Chris Jericho was watching the match, and decided at that moment, ‘That this guy’s gonna be a star.’ He decided that he was going to make him a star. This was way back. He had all this stuff to do, the Claudio feud, these other matches…This match on this date. This was not something where it was decided yesterday. This was weeks and weeks and weeks ago. The date was decided on the day of the Action Andretti and QT match.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
