Eric Bischoff returns to AEW Dynamite this Friday at 10 PM EST on TNT.

Chris Jericho was a special guest this morning on Busted Open Radio, where he revealed to hosts Dave LeGreca and Tommy Dreamer that Eric Bischoff would be hosting 'A Celebration of The Inner Circle' two days before Double or Nothing.

"We're having a celebration of The Inner Circle that has been kind of promoted and perpetrated by AEW; this isn't an Inner Circle idea," Jericho confirmed. "This is AEW kind of giving thanks to The Inner Circle for all that we've done over the past year and a half because if this is indeed our last major match at Stadium Stampede they we're going down with all guns blazing. But the host, the MC of this Inner Circle celebration, it's gonna be a returning, Eric Bischoff, your host, the MC for the whole segment."

Chris Jericho explained that when he called to make amends with Mike Tyson earlier this year, he also did the same with Eric Bischoff, which explains why Bischoff would be willing to do this for Jericho despite their past differences.

"First time Bischoff and I have ever been on the same side, much like when I called Mike Tyson, we had a little bit of a change of heart." Jericho continued. "A few months ago, another guy that I called was Eric Bischoff. We have made amends, and Eric agreed to come down and kind of MC and host the celebration for The Inner Circle this Friday on Dynamite."
