Chris Jericho will reportedly miss this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
According to PWInsider, Chris Jericho will not appear on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite at the EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia. It’s because Jericho is in New York City filming a new television project. However, there is no word about the nature of the project.
Jericho returned to AEW on the April 1 episode of Dynamite after months of speculation about a potential WWE return. He started a rivalry with Ricochet and The Demand and lost his first match back against the inaugural AEW National Champion at the Dynasty PPV. He then teamed up with The Hurt Syndicate at last week’s Collision to take on The Demand, but once again got pinned by Ricochet.
Bully Ray explains why he hates Chris Jericho returning to AEW
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray explained why he didn’t like Jericho returning to All Elite Wrestling. He noted that AEW fans showed how two-faced they can be by cheering Jericho’s return to the promotion after previously booing and bad-mouthing him.
“I hate it,” Bully Ray began. “That fanbase, the majority of that fanbase, has been shi**ing all over Chris Jericho for a long time now. The AEW fanbase does not deserve Chris Jericho.
“The amount of AEW fans who have shown how two-faced they are, who completely bashed Jericho, booed Jericho, bad-mouthed Jericho, to the point where he had to come off of Twitter, now singing the praises of Chris Jericho because he stayed with AEW. And they’re not singing the praises of Chris Jericho because they love Chris Jericho or appreciate Chris Jericho.
They’re just doing it because he didn’t go to the WWE,” Bully Ray added. “I’m not a fan of Chris staying with AEW. Chris has done everything that he possibly could have done organically in AEW. Who is he going to work with now that is going to be such a big deal in AEW?” [H/T WrestlingInc]
