Dec. 5 (UPI) -- AEW World Champion Chris Jericho created on Dynamite a new list he referred to as "The Lexicon of Le Champion."

Jurassic Express, consisting of Jungle Boy, Marko Stunt and Luchasaurus, then confronted Jericho and called him out. Jericho poked fun at the group and stated that Jungle Boy couldn't last 10 minutes with him.

"I know I can last 10 minutes with you, and I'm gonna kick your ass," Jungle Boy said before a brawl ensued. Jericho will defend the AEW World Championship against Jungle Boy on Dynamite on Dec. 18.

Also on Dynamite, Moxley battled Joey Janela in the main event. Janela, despite his smaller size, had a competitive match with Moxley.

The Bad Boy appeared ready to win the bout after he jumped onto Moxley who was standing at ringside, crashing him through the timekeeper's table. Janela followed this up with a a top-rope Elbow Drop, but it wasn't enough.

Moxley would regain control of the match and deliver a Paradigm Shift to Janela onto the top turnbuckle. He then followed that up with a traditional Paradigm Shift to earn the victory.

Jericho would soon arrive onto the scene, walking through the crowd with The Inner Circle right behind him. Jericho held up his AEW World Championship and stared down Moxley as Dynamite went off the air.

Cody made an appearance on Dynamite one week after he was attacked by Butcher and Blade. The American Nightmare agreed to have a match against the new team with Butcher and Blade allowed to choose his tag team partner.
