Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho recently spoke with the folks at TheWrestlingMania.com about a number of topics, including his WWE career, his music and his new book. You can read highlights from the interview below:

On his WWE career and if he’ll ever return: “I’ll be back at some point. But it’ll only ever be on a part time basis. Fozzy is my main focus in my career right now and it also depends on when Vince calls. If we can work something out, we will, but it has to work around the band and not the other way around.”

On what fans can expect out of his new book: “There’s a 3rd book coming out. It’s not a romance novel or anything like that, just a continuation of my last book, Undisputed, in 2007.”

On if he prefers music or wrestling: “I don’t have to choose. I’ve been in a position with my career where I’ve been able to do both. All I ever wanted when I was a kid was to be a wrestler and a rock star, and I’ve been fortunate enough to do both.”

AEW Games '2.Show' debut moved to January 6

December 31, 2020 | News | No Comments

AEW Games announced this afternoon that they are moving their new show, 2.Show, to January 6 instead of this coming Wednesday.

“With careful consideration, we have made the decision to push the 2.Show to next Wednesday, January 6th following AEW Dynamite.” AEW Games wrote on Twitter.

The news comes following the death of Brodie Lee this past Saturday at the age of 41 due to a lung issue. As a result, a special tribute show will air on this week’s Dynamite in place of the show that was scheduled to take place on December 30, New Year’s Smash. That show, a two week event, will now start on January 6.

AEW Games announced the 2.Show, which will be hosted by Kenny Omega, last Saturday. Aside from a teaser video, not much is known regarding the content or schedule of the show. The division launched back in November with a stream featuring the first trailer for the upcoming console game, as well as previews for upcoming poker and sim management mobile titles.
