Chris Jericho makes surprise CMLL appearance, attacks Mistico
Chris Jericho made a surprise appearance at CMLL’s Friday night event in Arena Mexico, attacking Mistico.
AEW’s “Learning Tree” Jericho attacked Mistico while wearing a Mistico mask at the event, hitting the CMLL star with some signature offense including the Codebreaker and Judas Effect.
Video of the attack angle from CMLL’s X account is embedded below.
Jericho then unmasked and issued a challenge to Mistico for the CMLL Arena Mexico event set for next Friday night, July 5. Mistico accepted the challenge and the match is on.
Jericho and Mistico are both also set for trios action at Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view, though in separate matches.
Jericho, Big Bill, and a mystery partner will face Katsuyori Shibata, Samoa Joe, and Hook on the Forbidden Door main card, while Mistico will team with Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix against Yota Tsuji, Titan, and Hiromu Takahashi on Sunday’s Zero Hour pre-show.
