Chris Jericho comments on a celebrity cinematic match that almost happened in AEW

During an appearance on the AEW-some podcast, Chris Jericho commented on a celebrity cinematic match that almost happened in AEW…

“Mike Tyson and I almost had a cinematic match. We were this close to doing it, Tyson vs. Jericho in a New York Street Fight, but we couldn’t make it happen. We really were deep in negotiations too. We were going to do it in New York in an alley, like an alley fight, basically. Think ‘They Live’ with Tyson and Jericho. That’s what I had in mind.” (quote courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)

Mike Tyson became an honorary member of the Inner Circle faction in 2021.
