Chris Jericho won’t be at AEW Fyter Fest. It should be noted that Jericho was never booked for a match at the event.
This comes after it was revealed that the event will be streamed live and free on B/R Live. He wrote the following:
“In protest of @KennyOmegamanX, @CodyRhodes, @NickJacksonYB & @MattJackson13’s foolish decision to give the #FyterFest live stream away to @AEWrestling fans for free, I am pulling out of the event. I refuse to be associated w such shameless pandering.”
