Professional wrestling star Chris Jericho made a surprise return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on the April 2, 2026, episode of Dynamite, broadcast live from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Jericho, who had been absent from AEW programming, interrupted the show's opening segment hosted by commentator Tony Schiavone.
The return segment saw Jericho confront Schiavone on the ramp, creating a tense atmosphere to kick off the show. This marked Jericho's first appearance on AEW television in several months, generating significant reaction from the live audience in his home country.
AEW has not yet confirmed Jericho's immediate storyline direction or scheduled matches following this return. The surprise appearance is typical of the company's approach to building major angles for its weekly television product.
