Chris Jericho’s Impact and Upcoming AEW Showdown

Chris Jericho made a notable return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) earlier this year, raising eyebrows about his contract status and future decisions. His reappearance reignited a feud with The Demand. This rivalry escalated and is set to culminate in a Stadium Stampede Match at Double or Nothing. Jericho will join forces with Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Kenny Omega, Jack Perry, and The Young Bucks to face off against Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Mark Davis, Andrade El Idolo, Clark Connors, and David Finlay.

Jericho remains one of the few pro wrestling icons performing full-time. His extensive career includes stints with WWE, World Championship Wrestling, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, Extreme Championship Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and others. AEW star MVP reflected on Jericho’s place in wrestling history, emphasizing Jericho’s significance.

“I’ve been a Chris Jericho fan for a significant period because of my appreciation for Japanese wrestling. I knew of Jericho before many, due to my interest in international wrestling,” MVP remarked. “Upon his WWE debut from WCW, I followed him closely.”

Jericho brings a complete package to the ring, from promos to memorable matches. His durability stands out, with few injuries over his career. As a former undisputed champion, Jericho defeated significant opponents to earn that status. Discussions of the greatest in modern wrestling often include his name.

At Double or Nothing, Jericho aims to enhance his legacy with a third Stadium Stampede appearance. His history in these matches includes a win and a loss. His initial participation was at Double or Nothing in 2020 alongside Matt Hardy, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana, and Ortiz. The following year, he returned to the match with Hager, Guevara, Santana, and Ortiz, facing off against MJF, Wardlow, Shawn Spears, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler. He stands 1-1 in these contests.

The upcoming event is at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. The pre-show is set for 7 p.m. Eastern Time, with the main card beginning at 8 p.m. Ryan Gaydos, a senior editor at Fox News Digital, provides this coverage.
