Chris Jericho, the former AEW World Champion, has made an unexpected return to the ring, though not in a traditional wrestling context. Instead of WWE or AEW, Jericho appears in the upcoming Apple TV series “Margot’s Got Money Troubles,” which premieres on April 15. This marks a distinctive shift in his career, showcasing him within the realm of scripted television.
Overview of the Show and Jericho’s Role
“Margot’s Got Money Troubles” is based on a popular novel and follows the story of Margot, played by Elle Fanning, who faces a complicated pregnancy. To support herself and her child, Margot leverages OnlyFans, guided by marketing strategies inherited from her pro wrestler father, portrayed by Nick Offerman. The series features a notable cast including Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Greg Kinnear, Marcia Gay Harden, and Michael Angarano.
Although details are scarce, promotional images show Nicole Kidman in a wrestling ring alongside Chris Jericho, hinting at his involvement as a wrestler character within the show’s narrative.
Premier Date and Future Possibilities for Jericho
The series launches with a three-episode premiere on Apple TV on April 15, 2026. While Jericho’s appearance here is a clear departure from professional wrestling’s live arena, there is speculation about his wrestling career path beyond this project. Fans are curious if he will return to WWE by the time the show airs, considering his past affiliations and the fluid nature of wrestling contracts.
Potential Impact and Audience Interest
Jericho’s move into scripted television broadens his portfolio, offering fans a new dimension of his talents outside the ring. His appearance may draw wrestling enthusiasts to the series, blending the worlds of sports entertainment and drama. Whether this marks a long-term shift or a temporary break remains to be seen, but it underlines Jericho’s versatility as a performer.
