Chris Jericho Says He Has 'Some Career Left' Without a Timeline

His comments underscore how risk-heavy styles can shorten careers for today’s wrestlers.

Overview

  • Jericho said in a new GamesHub interview this week that he plans to wrestle again but does not know if he has one, two, or four more years left.
  • He warned that the push for high-impact moves can cut careers short and said charisma and character help wrestlers last longer.
  • Jericho recalled an early-career dive in León, Mexico where a missed catch by Masaka sent him into bolted-down chairs, which led him to pick his spots on risky moves.
  • He has not wrestled since losing to Bandido at AEW Dynasty in April 2025 and has stayed visible with a guest role on TV and tours with his band Fozzy.
  • His contract status remains unclear, with Bleacher Report citing Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer saying he is “95 percent sure” AEW froze the deal, while speculation about a WWE retirement run has not been confirmed.
