– During a recent edition of Talk Is Jericho, AEW star Chris Jericho discussed his ROH Championship match against Bandido on Dynamite in September. According to Jericho, he was so impressed with Bandido’s work, he told Tony Khan to sign the wrestler after the match. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Chris Jericho on Bandido: “Going out there with this guy and not knowing anything about him, he’s such a great flier and he has such power. He held me up for the standing suplex, I think for like 60 seconds, and the blood was rushing to my head and I could barely hold on. He was so strong and when he finally brought me down, the people started going nuts. That’s when we had them. We did a whole bunch of crazy stuff. I took the hurricanrana off the apron, I took the jumping backwards moonsault powerslam, and I took his german suplex off the ropes.”

On telling Tony khan to sign Bandido after the match: “It’s one of those matches where everything was going too well. I spun his mask around and had him tap out to the walls, and as soon as we got back through the curtain, I said to Tony (Khan), ‘We need to sign this guy.’ That’s what we did. It took a while to actually get him to commit, but man, we signed him and I see big things in the future for Bandido.”

AEW announced that Bandido had officially signed with the company last month.
