During the media scrum after AEW & NJPW Forbidden Door, Sting and Darby Allin kicked things off with some questions. Sting was asked about his career and he also revealed that it will not in at All In London in Wembley Stadium. Then things went off the handle a bit.

Chris Jericho stormed into the room, with his baseball bat Floyd in tow. Then he pointed it right at Sting. During a furious rant, Jericho demanded a tag team match this week on AEW Dynamite.

Then Chris Jericho picked up a bottle of water. For some reason, Jericho tossed the bottle of water up in the air and whacked it with his baseball bat. The bottle of water went off to the side and nailed someone sitting in the front row. Then Tony Khan had to put his boss voice on, and he ordered that Jericho leave.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that the man who took that water bottle to the head was John Mews. The bottle actually busted him open, and he bled more than some performers on the Forbidden Door show. It was also said that Denise Salcedo was also hit by the bottle as well.

Tony Khan booked a tornado tag team match for Dynamite with Jericho and Sammy Guevara against Sting and Darby Allin. He also wasn’t happy at all about that, and apologized to John Mews several times for getting his head busted open.

This was certainly an unexpected moment, but AEW media scrums have a reputation for chaos already. For more on this story, and many more, stay tuned with us here at Ringside News. You can check out the clip below at around the 4:30 mark of the media scrum.
