Chris Jericho Surprises CMLL Arena Mexico Fans with Video Message

AEW fans know that Chris Jericho has received a green light to virtually appear anywhere he wants. Fozzy takes on tours, but it doesn’t keep the Learning Tree from his duties in AEW, because he just loves that camera time. Chris Jericho delivered a message to Mistico on Friday night to give even more proof of how much he loves being on television.

Appearing via video at CMLL’s show from Arena Mexico, Chris Jericho cut a promo directed at his opponent for CMLL’s 91st Anniversary show on September 13. He made it clear that their beef isn’t over, and they will settle things very soon in a promo he spoke mostly in Spanish.

“Ever since I attacked you just a few weeks ago in Arena Mexico, the world has been abuzz. The first time Chris Jericho appeared in Arena Mexico in 29 years. And now, for the first time ever, at the 91st Anniversary Show, Arena Mexico, September 13, 2024, Chris Jericho vs. Mistico. I’ve had a lot of classic matches in Arena Mexico but in Arena Mexico on September 13, Mistico, it’s going to be the biggest and most important match of your career. It’s going to be the night that Chris Jericho embarrasses you.”

Mistico would respond to Jericho later in the show to make it clear that he’ll be expecting the Learning Tree in CMLL. He’s also very ready for their match.

“Chris Jericho, remember that Friday, September 13, I’ll be waiting for you at my house…Arena Mexico! So, get ready Chris Jericho, I’m coming for you!”

Chris Jericho has a history in Mexican wrestling. He started his career in Mexico in 1992, adopting the name Corazón de León, Jericho wrestled for smaller promotions in Nuevo León before joining the Universal Wrestling Association in March 1993. In April 1993, he moved to CMLL, where he faced competitors like Silver King, Negro Casas, and Último Dragón. His final appearance with CMLL was in September 1995, where he unsuccessfully challenged CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Apolo Dantés.

Jericho’s time in Mexico laid the foundation for his international wrestling career and helped lay the building blocks to establish his legacy as the skilled and versatile performer we know him as today. He’s also not done visiting the country, and CMLL either.
