Those who have been keeping close watch on AEW's Nick Wayne recently are well aware that the youngster has beaten Chris Jericho not once, but twice. But there were no fireworks or airhorns going off earlier this week for Wayne, as while Wayne's winning record over the wrestling legend is enough to get him bragging rights, it's not enough to prevent him from getting misted by a wrestling legend of arguably even bigger stature than Jericho. Taking to X on Tuesday evening, user Mary-Kate Anthony posted a brief video of Wayne taking the green mist from WWE Hall of Famer Keiji Muto, aka The Great Muta, while aboard Jericho's Rock N' Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise.

The moment occurred during the fourth and final day of the Jericho Cruise, with Wayne teaming with Blake Christian and Jay Lethal to take on Jericho and The Hardys, in a rare occurrence of TNA talent being able to work in a match with AEW talent. Thanks in part to Muto's help, Jericho and the Hardys were able to pick up the victory, meaning that Jericho has also now beaten Wayne twice, though only one of the matches was in singles competition.

Regardless of the brief setback, Wayne still has plenty of momentum coming out of his victories with Jericho, which he followed up on by defeating former WWE ID star Marcus Mathers on Jericho Cruise episode of "AEW Collision." The two wins over Jericho, and his subsequent character development from it, have caused Wayne to receive a surge in popularity from the AEW fanbase, and some, like Dave Meltzer, have even called for Wayne to receive a singles run with an AEW championship sooner than later.
