He’s baaaack!
Chris Jericho made his surprise return to kick off the April 1, 2026 episode of AEW Dynamite in his former longtime hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
“Judas in My Mind” hit the house speakers inside the Canadian Life Centre in Winnipeg, MB., and out came the pro wrestling legend himself, as fans sang along with his catchy self-recorded entrance tune.
Jericho settled in the ring to loud chants of “Jericho! Jericho!” and soaked up the adulation from fans, who then broke out into a “Welcome Back!” and “Welcome Home!” chant.
“Winnipeg … AEW, I am home!”
His theme hit again as he mugged the camera and then played to the crowd again with a big smile on his face, wrapping up a brief and to-the-point surprise return.
