Garcia sides with J.A.S.
During the second hour of AEW Dynamite in Canada, the ROH World Championship was on the line when Chris Jericho defended against Bryan Danielson.
While referee Paul Turner was down on the outside, Jericho was handed the belt by ‘Daddy Magic’ Matt Menard. Jericho was about to hit Danielson until ROH Pure Champion Daniel Garcia took the belt from him. Danielson then hit Jericho with a running knee but Garcia ended up hitting him with the title.
Jericho pinned Danielson to retain and Garcia left with the Jericho Appreciation Society.

Jericho became ROH World Champion at Dynamite Grand Slam by defeating Claudio Castagnoli. For months, Garcia has been in between Jericho and Danielson’s on-screen rivalry and at points, it appeared as if he was going to side with Danielson.
