6-time WWE IC Champion's nephew spotted backstage in AEW with Chris Jericho
Dolph Ziggler's nephew, Andreas John Ziegler, was recently spotted backstage in AEW with Chris Jericho.
Going by the ring name, AJZ, the 22-year old is a pro-wrestler himself, who currently performs for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Taking to Twitter, he shared a picture with Jericho and wrote that his experience on this week's Dynamite was "incredible."
"What An Incredible Experience Last Night At #AEWDynamite! Thank You To @IAmJericho," tweeted AJZ.
It's also worth noting that Dolph Ziggler's brother, Ryan Nemeth, also works for All Elite Wrestling. Nemeth was in action on this week's Dynamite, alongside his "The Wingmen" stablemates JD Drake and Cezar Bononi. The trio lost their match to Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston, and Darby Allin.
Since AJZ's home promotion, NJPW, has a working relationship with AEW, the performer could soon find himself working in Tony Khan's company. Plus, by interacting with a veteran like Jericho backstage on Dynamite, he must have gained valuable insight into the business.
Chris Jericho could retire at AEW All Out 2021
At All Out 2021, Chris Jericho will put his career on the line in a match against his arch-rival MJF. On this week's Dynamite, the former spoke about his recent loss to the Pinnacle leader and demanded another bout with him at the upcoming pay-per-view.
Jericho said he would hang up his wrestling boots if he fell short again. It now remains to be seen if fans witness the last of Chris Jericho at All Out 2021, as MJF would do all in his might to take down the veteran again.
Do you think AJZ should sign with AEW? Do you think Chris Jericho will quit the business after losing at All Out 2021? Sound off in the comments section below.
