Chris Jericho Clears the Air on Rumor He Asked Jushin Liger to Wrestle on His Cruise

Chris Jericho has truly done it all when it comes to being a professional wrestler and his love for AEW can’t ever be doubted. He loves working with lots of top talent but sometimes he gets involved in controversies for one reason or the other. One such rumor concerned Jushin Liger and now Chris Jericho has cleared the air on that matter.

Jushin Thunder Liger won’t be wrestling on the upcoming Chris Jericho Cruise at all. During an interview on the Grue Rume Show with Sonny Onoo, Onoo shared that Liger was asked to participate in the cruise. However, Liger quickly declined and made it clear he was too old to come out of retirement and wrestle.

 “I am too old!”

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Chris Jericho clarified that he never asked Jushin Liger to come out of retirement and wrestle on the January Jericho Cruise. Liger will be attending as one of the special guests, but Jericho explained that the rumor about him asking Liger to wrestle was fabricated by Sonny Onoo.

The Chris Jericho Cruise, scheduled from January 31 to February 4, 2025, will depart from Miami and head to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Chris Jericho will serve as the ‘Master of Ceremonies,’ and the cruise will feature special guests including Scott Steiner, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and Jushin Thunder Liger as stated above. Regardless, Jericho had to ensure that people didn’t take such a false claim seriously, so it’s understandable why he felt the need to clarify the rumor.
