Reason for Chris Jericho set to miss AEW Dynamite this week confirmed

Chris Jericho returns

Chris Jericho will not be appearing on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The former AEW Champion has been appearing on both Dynamite and Collision over the past few weeks after his return to television, following speculation that he could be returning to WWE, but this week is an exception.

According to a new report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Jericho will be missing the show this week as he is “in NYC this week filming a TV project.” It was not confirmed what the TV project could be nor if it was related to pro wrestling in any way.
