Former WWE Star Reveals ‘Pact’ To Be Chris Jericho’s Final Opponent

AEW

Chris Jericho remains one of the top stars of AEW to this day, that it is hard to imagine the day when the Ocho will eventually call it a career.

Jericho has had a great many rivals throughout his 30 year career, but it’s a rather familiar foe who claims to have a ‘pact’ with him to be his final opponent.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, former WWE star Lance Storm spoke about wrestling Jericho in both men’s first ever match, and how they’ve made a pact for their last match to be against each other.

He said:

“That’s sort of the running joke between us because we’ve over the years made a pact because our very first match was against each other. We did like a 10 or a 15-minute draw, I don’t remember which, in Ponoka, Alberta, out here. And I’ve always contended that it would be cool, especially because we know each other still, to do our last match with each other too and have us both bookend our careers.

“I keep joking with them. It’s like, dude, you have to retire at some point, or I’m not going to be able to do it. You know, you’ve got to retire inside the next five or ten years, dude, or I’m not going to be, I don’t want to do it at 75.”

Jericho is not set to compete on tonight’s AEW All Out event, marking the first ever AEW pay-per-view without Jericho wrestling on the card.
