Chris Jericho made his triumphant return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) programming in April after months of speculation about his contract and whether he would sign elsewhere.
Since his return, Jericho has been feuding with The Demand. He faced Ricochet at Dynasty later that month and the rivalry expanded to what’s to come on Sunday night at Double or Nothing: a Stadium Stampede Match with Jericho, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Kenny Omega, Jack Perry, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson taking on Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Mark Davis, Andrade El Idolo, Clark Connors and David Finlay.

Jericho is one of the last pro wrestling legends still working full time and giving his all to the fans who come to see him. His legacy spans time in WWE, World Championship Wrestling, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Ring of Honor (ROH) and more.
AEW star MVP spoke with Pak Gazette Digital about where Jericho stands in professional wrestling throughout history and said you can’t have a conversation about the sport’s greatest without having one about him.
“I’ve been a fan of Chris Jericho for a long, long time because I’m also a big fan of Japanese wrestling. So, I knew Chris Jericho before a lot of people just because of my love for international wrestling,” MVP said while highlighting his new partnership with BZZR. “When he left WCW and made his WWE debut, I was watching and I saw every match.

“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 had many serious injuries. There’s nothing he can’t do. And if you remember, he was the undisputed champion. Let’s look at the guys that Chris Jericho beat to win that position. I don’t think you can have a conversation about the all-time greats of the modern era without Chris. Jericho is in that conversation.”
Jericho will be able to add a third Stadium Stampede Match to his legacy.
He was part of the first at Double or Nothing in 2020 when he teamed with Matt Hardy, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz to take on Omega, “Hangman” Adam Page and The Young Bucks.
In the second at Double or Nothing 2021, he was again with Hager, Guevara, Santana and Ortiz to face MJF, Wardlow, Shawn Spears, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler.
