As WWE prepares to bring its brand of entertainment to Canada this weekend, one prominent figure will be noticeably absent from the festivities. Chris Jericho, the former AEW star and wrestling legend, will not be making an appearance at any of the scheduled WWE events in the country.
According to sources close to the situation, Jericho’s absence is due to a scheduling conflict that has nothing to do with his current WWE contractual status. Despite ongoing rumors of a potential WWE return, it appears Jericho’s focus remains on his ongoing commitments with All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
WWE Continues to Dominate Canadian Market
WWE’s ongoing Canadian tour is expected to draw massive crowds, with stops in major cities like Toronto and Montreal. The event promises to feature a star-studded lineup, including WWE Superstars like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Rhea Ripley. However, Jericho’s absence is likely to be felt among fans who were hoping to see the wrestling icon in action.
AEW Ties and WWE Relationship
Jericho’s complicated history with WWE and AEW has been a topic of discussion among wrestling fans for months. The veteran wrestler has maintained a strong relationship with AEW, despite his previous tenure with WWE. Sources close to Jericho have revealed that his loyalty lies with the promotion, and he remains committed to his current role.
While Jericho’s absence from WWE events in Canada may be a disappointment to some fans, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on his relationship with WWE. According to a WWE insider, “Chris Jericho’s priority is his current commitments with AEW, and we respect that. We wish him all the best in his ongoing endeavors.”
WWE Superstars Stepping Up
In the absence of Jericho, WWE Superstars will have the opportunity to shine in Canada. Fans can expect to see a mix of established talent and up-and-coming stars taking on high-profile opponents. Roman Reigns, in particular, is expected to have a strong showing, as he looks to continue his momentum after a successful reign as WWE Undisputed Universal Champion.
What’s Next for Jericho?
Despite his absence from WWE events in Canada, Jericho’s future remains uncertain. While his loyalty lies with AEW, there is always a possibility that he could return to WWE in the future. According to a source close to the situation, “Chris Jericho is a free agent, and he has options. We will see what the future holds for him.”
For now, fans in Canada will have to content themselves with WWE’s talented roster, which promises to deliver an unforgettable experience. As the wrestling world continues to evolve, one thing is certain: Chris Jericho’s absence from WWE events in Canada is just the latest chapter in a storied career marked by twists, turns, and unforgettable moments.
