Chris Jericho Taking Time Off From AEW TV?
A backstage update on Chris Jericho's AEW status this winter.
Chris Jericho will likely be taking some time off from AEW television towards the end of the year.
This is because his band, Fozzy, are due to tour the United Kingdom between 30 November and 12 December. That period would include two episodes of Dynamite (1 and 8 December) and two episodes of Rampage (3 and 10 December).
In this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer notes the possibility of Jericho participating in pretaped segments depending on what kind of storyline he is involved with at the time.
Jericho and his Inner Circle stablemates are currently feuding with Dan Lambert and his various allies. This heated up on 22 September's Grand Slam show, where Jericho's crew was laid out, with the former AEW World Champion taking a running knee from the UFC's Jorge Masvidal. Lambert has since led American Top Team and The Men of the Year in a series of segments against Jericho and co.
Tonight's episode of AEW Rampage will see Jericho, Jake Hager, and Sammy Guevara team against Ethan Page, Scorpio Sky, and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos, who'll be making his wrestling debut.
