Ryan Niemiller got the moment of his life. The pro wrestling fan and finalist on America’s Got Talent was enthused, to say the least, when he had the opportunity to work together in a skit with former WWE Superstar and current All Elite Wrestling champion, Chris Jericho. Niemiller, who was born with a congenial birth defect in his arms, has shared on the show how he used to wrestle before a back injury derailed that.
A few hours before the episode aired, Jericho sent out a tweet getting fans ready for what was to come.

“Check out [Ryan Niemiller] and I doing some bits on [America’s Got Talent] finale TONIGHT. We filmed a pretty hilarious piece a few days ago and even if he doesn’t win the AGT championship, he’s already a winner as he’s a great guy and we had a BLAST!”
Fans of the show were thrilled to see Niemiller get his big moment.

The two-part finale of America’s Got Talent began on Tuesday when the remaining 10 finalists put forth their final performance. Niemiller was hoping to become the first stand-up comedian to take home the top prize.
He took third place on finale night.

The winner of the show will collect the $1 million payout and headline the Las Vegas show, America’s Got Talent Live, in November.
Jericho rose through the ranks, going through the likes of ECW and WCW, before joining the WWF (now WWE) in 1999. He won the Undisputed WWF Championship once and holds the record with nine Intercontinental Championship belts.
