AEW veteran Chris Jericho has been one of the biggest names in All Elite Wrestling since 2019. His contributions throughout the past few decades hold great value in the pro wrestling business.
The former AEW World Champion was involved in a feud with the former ROH World Television Champion from September to October. During that period, the duo locked horns three times. Out of those three, the legend won the first match. However, in the next two matches, Nick brought out his immense skills and won the matches. Since beating the veteran two times, the young star has been gloating about his win multiple times.
The recent edition of Collision took place on the Demo God’s cruise. While Jericho defeated Blake Christian on that show, Nick defeated Marcus Mathers during the special edition of the Saturday Night show. Later on the show, AEW stars celebrated the birthday of the former AEW World Champion on the cruise.
In a recent clip, it is seen that Nick Wayne has been enjoying celebrating Jericho’s birthday alongside him. The legend turned 56 today.
Chris Jericho believes Nick Wayne is a future star
While speaking on TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Chris said the old Nick Wayne is gone, and a Prodigy is born who has the potential to become an AEW World Champion.
“The old Nick Wayne that could lose to Chris Jericho, well, that’s not going to happen ever again. This necklace is gone, the old Nick Wayne is out, the new Nick Wayne is in. The new Nick Wayne that wears a suit, the Nick Wayne that can hold his own in a promo against Chris Jericho. The Nick Wayne that might have a chance to beat Chris Jericho, well don’t know yet. But, the point being it wasn’t about the necklace itself, it was like a totem of where that was signifying the end of this version and now we’re going into the next version, next phase of Nick Wayne, who has potential to be a world champion,” he said.
It will be interesting to see what is next for the former AEW World Champion.
