SouthernWorldwide.com – Chris Jericho made a significant return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in April, following a period of speculation regarding his contract status and potential moves to other promotions.
Since his comeback, Jericho has been embroiled in a feud with “The Demand.” This rivalry escalated, leading to a match against Ricochet at Dynasty later that month. The conflict is set to culminate in a Stadium Stampede Match at the upcoming Double or Nothing event. This match will feature Jericho, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Kenny Omega, Jack Perry, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson on one side, facing off against Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Mark Davis, Andrade El Idolo, Clark Connors, and David Finlay.
Chris Jericho is recognized as one of the few remaining professional wrestling legends who continue to perform full-time, dedicating their efforts to engaging fans. His illustrious career has seen him compete and achieve success across various prominent wrestling organizations, including WWE, World Championship Wrestling, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and Ring of Honor (ROH), among others.
MVP, a notable figure in professional wrestling, expressed his long-standing admiration for Chris Jericho. “I’ve been a Chris Jericho fan for a very, very long time because I’m also a huge fan of Japanese wrestling. So, I was aware of Chris Jericho before a lot of people were just because of my love for international wrestling,” MVP stated, while also highlighting his recent partnership with BZZR.
MVP elaborated on Jericho’s skills, emphasizing his versatility and consistency. “He has no weaknesses in his game. He can cut promos. He has great matches. He’s not an injury prone guy. If you look at his career, he’s never suffered from a lot of serious injuries. There’s nothing that he can’t do. And if you remember, he was the undisputed champion. Let’s look at the guys that Chris Jericho beat to gain that position. I don’t think you can have a conversation about the all-time greats of the modern era without Chris Jericho being in that conversation.”
