AEW will make their debut in the city of Winnipeg in 2023, visiting the Gateway to the West on March 14th. Despite what their kayfabe introductions might say, both Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho got their start in Winnipeg. Jericho teased that the two could potentially team up when AEW visits the Great White North.
Appearing on Winnipeg Sports Talk, Jericho spoke about AEW’s upcoming appearance in Canada. You can read highlights of Jericho’s appearance below:
What’s next for the J.A.S. as AEW heads to Winnipeg: “That’s three months from now, so we’ll have to see where the storylines take us. We just finished up with the Blackpool Combat Club. The biggest upset in pro wrestling history when Action Andretti beat me on Dynamite last week. We’ll have to address that. Ricky Starks is another one that we’re looking at getting involved with. There are a lot of great programs. That’s the thing with me and the Jericho Appreciation Society. We always want to work with somebody new and really sink our teeth into the storyline.”
What the landscape in AEW might look like in mid-March: “In mid-March, we’ll probably have a lot of cool things going. We’ve already discussed a few ideas of what we could do that night. Maybe something with Kenny [Omega] and I, Kenny and I tagging, it all depends on what the storylines are. It doesn’t matter what the exact storylines are, I know it’s going to be a great show.”
