While speaking on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about how the match came to be and noted that Jericho thought Action would be a star, so he planned to put him over months ago.
>“The story behind this is that Action Andretti….had a match on one of the streaming shows (Dark episode that aired on October 7) against QT Marshall, and Chris Jericho was watching the match, and decided at that moment, ‘That this guy’s gonna be a star.’ He decided that he was going to make him a star. This was way back. He had all this stuff to do, the Claudio feud, these other matches…This match on this date. This was not something where it was decided yesterday. This was weeks and weeks and weeks ago. The date was decided on the day of the Action Andretti and QT match.”
