As All Elite Wrestling continue to announce locations and matches for their first batch of TNT TV offerings, now comes news that Chris Jericho will be in action on the fifth episode of AEW’s weekly TV show.

There’s no word on just who Jericho will be facing off against on that show, but we do know that said fifth episode will emanate from the Charleston Coliseum on Wednesday, October 30th. Tickets for the event will go on sale this Friday at 12pm Eastern Time.

This isn’t the first TNT appearance confirmed for the iconic Jericho, of course.

On AEW’s October 2nd TNT premiere, Jericho will be teaming with two mystery partners to battle Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.

Likewise, the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rollah may find himself in action on AEW’s third episode as the AEW World Championship will be defended for the first – Jericho going head-to-head with ‘Hangman’ Adam Page to crown the first ever AEW World Champion at August 31st’s All Out PPV.

This news comes on the back of WWE officially announcing that NXT will be moving to the USA Network to run as a live two-hour broadcast from September 18th – that move meaning NXT will be going directly up against AEW’s weekly TV product once AEW arrives on TNT on October 2nd.
