Welcome to Busted Open After Dark. I'm your host, Tommy Dreamer. Chris Jericho has returned to AEW. He has shocked the world and I'm going to talk about it right now.

This is the busted open podcast. Here we go. AEW's Dynamite from Winnipeg. Winnipeg was hot. Loved it.

And the biggest news coming out of it,

the return of Chris Jericho in his hometown to AEW's dynamite.

Listen, the speculation has been ramped. It was a done deal, and hence why you really can't

believe the worldwide interwebs. It's a done deal. Chris Jericho is showing up at the Royal Rumble.

It's a done deal. Chris Jericho is showing up at Elimination Chamber. It's a done deal. Chris

Jericho is the man in the box.

Well, I knew that wasn't the case because I'm the man in the box. And so was Danhausen. So I don't

want to say that because I don't want to get cursed. But it's a done deal. Chris Jericho is in

WWE. His time with AEW is over. Wait a minute, as Gordon Soli would say.

It's not a done deal.

Chris Cherico returns to AEW.

Was this a ruse all along?

Is this internet fodder?

Is Chris Cherico spinning everybody's wheels?

He's great at that. And I'm happy for him, man. He looks phenomenal.

He's in great shape. Got a six-pack working on an eight-pack. He looks refreshed. He looks healthy.

It's his hometown. And to the pop.

At first, I'm thinking these are production errors.

And we're here to do a contract signing a pyro goes off.
