Web Is Jericho

At one time, it appeared Chris Jericho would be a WWE lifer, having established himself as one of the company’s biggest stars. However, after being overlooked for the main event spot of WrestleMania 33 and being offered big money to wrestle a dream match in New Japan against Kenny Omega, that would change, and Jericho hasn’t worked for WWE in several years. Therefore, when WWE aired a video package on this week’s SmackDown showing Kevin Owens turning on his friends, few expected that Jericho would be featured because of his AEW employment status. Yet, showing how much things have changed since the departure of Vince McMahon, WWE would include Owens memorably turning on Jericho during the legendary Festival of Friendship segment. For those who weren’t following WWE at the time, the Festival of Friendship segment took place on the February 13, 2017, episode of Raw and was meant to celebrate Jericho’s partnership with Owens. The then-Universal Champion would subsequently use this as an opportunity to turn on Jericho, setting up a match between them at WrestleMania 33. Still, despite the build, the match wouldn’t be positioned highly on the card, with many fans feeling it deserved a far more significant spot.

WWE SmackDown Results: August 23, 2024

Recently, there has been a lot of talk online regarding Ricky Stark’s future, with him not having been featured on AEW television since March. Additionally, when you add that his contract is known to be expiring later this year, many suspect he may intend to join his close friend Cody Rhodes in WWE. And now, indicating that it is a genuine possibility, Fightful Select has reported that WWE has a significant interest in the former NWA wrestler. 34-year-old Starks signed with AEW in 2020 after an impressive tryout match against Cody Rhodes on Dynamite. Subsequently, he became very good friends with his opponent on the night, even being spotted backstage at the 2023 Royal Rumble. However, speculation would go to another level, which would commence once he was spotted at WrestleMania XL, watching Rhodes finish his story in person.
