As seen during the November 15h 2023 edition of AEW Dynamite, Kenny Omega’s team defeated The Don Callis Family in the Like a Dragon Gaidin street fight. There was internet speculation that Chris Jericho’s arm was burned by Omega’s entrance pyro. Jericho wrote “YES!” on Twitter/X when asked if his arm was burned.

However, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about the story…

“The story that Jericho suffered a burn from the pyro before the street fight was overblown. A spark did hit his arm and did no damage but he was having fun on the Internet with it and then the story got exaggerated”
