Chris Jericho Drops Unseen Footage of His GCW Ambush on Matt Cardona

Chris Jericho’s unannounced appearance at GCW Highest in the Room 3 on December 14 left fans stunned, but the WWE Hall of Famer wasn’t done making his mark. Shortly after the event, Jericho took to Instagram to share unseen footage of his backstage arrival and premeditated path through the venue, leading to his ambush on Matt Cardona and Effy.

The video shows Jericho confidently striding through the GCW venue, ready to strike. From the moment he arrived, Jericho’s intentions were clear—this wasn’t just about making an appearance; it was about sending a message.

In the post, Jericho captioned the footage with, “Hi @themattcardona, you didn’t think that the King of New York would pop up in Los Angeles at your @gamechangerwrestling Indy Event, did you? You made a big mistake forgetting who you’re dealing with……I always get my man! See you at #rohfinalbattle.”

The unseen footage adds another layer to Jericho’s ambush, showcasing the deliberate nature of his attack. It’s clear this feud with Cardona is personal, and Jericho is determined to dominate both inside and outside the ring. The Instagram post has sparked further speculation about what Jericho has planned as the rivalry heads into ROH Final Battle.

Cardona, who initially expected to face Ricky Starks at the GCW event, had Effy as a last-minute replacement after AEW pulled Starks due to Effy’s controversial comments about Tony and Shad Khan. However, it was Jericho who stole the spotlight, not just with his ambush but now with this unseen footage, giving fans an inside look at how it all went down.
