PW Insider revealed that Chris Jericho filmed episodes for Southpaw Regional Wrestling after his return this week.
Jericho had left WWE back in May to tour with Fozzy. This week on SmackDown, he returned and challenged Kevin Owens for a United States Championship match after confronting Owens and AJ Styles.
He was granted this demand by Shane McMahon, and Jericho headlined the show alongside Owens and AJ Styles in a triple threat match, which Styles won.
What’s next?
While the current stint of Jericho might not be a long one, it was a good idea by WWE to use him for the series.
