The Y2J problem

By Scott Keith on 5 February 2025

Hey Scott,

Sorry for the second question, but hypothetically, how would you book Jericho if he was to take a final lap?

I'm thinking he wins the belt, with the help of Omega or Ospreay, gets one last run as Le Champion for a month or so, then his friends tell him he has to beat one of them for the belt. I think Jericho vs Omega vs Ospreay one last time for the title could be a good way for him to go out, and also a much needed reset to the original days of AEW.

I'm losing interest in AEW over the last few months, could an angle with Jericho's swan song get a few casuals back on board?

Thanks!


I know everyone busts on Jericho lately, myself included, but when he does hang it up I can 100% guarantee you he'll go out as a heel, putting someone over and probably going through a bunch of tables and out on a stretcher while the babyface poses in the ring. In the end, he's about doing business.
