Chris Jericho and Tommaso Ciampa brawl ahead of Beach Break match

"

Chris Jericho was serious on AEW Collision (June 20, 2026), and he took a serious beating that left him bloodied. Jericho’s mouth wrote a check that he could not cash on that night. Jericho engaged in a face to face promo session with Tommaso Ciampa. The gist was that Jericho claimed any version of Jericho can beat Ciampa. It doesn’t matter what version of @IAmJericho is going to give @MrTommasoCiampa, Jericho wants to kick Ciampa’s ass!

The Psycho Killer countered Jericho’s clams with a match challenge for Beach Break on July 8 from Clearwater, Florida. Ciampa wants Jericho to invite his family to watch him lose. The challenge has been made! @MrTommasoCiampa wants @IAmJericho at #AEWDynamite Beach Break, July 8th!

The funny part was that Jericho initiated the scuffle, then he was left in a bloody mess. Jericho actually had the upper hand, but that changed after Ciampa connected on a mule kick. Ciampa smashed Jericho into the steel steps to bust him open. HERE WE GO! @MrTommasoCiampa and @IAmJericho aren't going to wait for Beach Break!

Backstage, he thanked Ciampa for the beating. Jericho warned that Ciampa won’t thank him for what happens now. A bloody @IamJericho sends a warning to @MrTommasoCiampa.

With all the versions of Jericho, this has me wondering if the Painmaker will return. The Painmaker would be a man fit to fight a Psycho Killer. Are you enjoying the feud so far between Chris Jericho and Tommaso Ciampa? How do you think it plays out? Which version of Jericho would you pick to wrestle Ciampa?
