Chris Jericho reveals dream match with Randy Savage as he continues to make headlines despite his recent break from AEW shows. The veteran wrestler highlighted his long-held wish to face WWE Hall of Famer “Macho Man” Randy Savage in an imagined WWE showdown, sparking discussion among wrestling fans.
Although The Learning Tree has not appeared on All Elite Wrestling television since early April, his name remains active in wrestling circles. On the April 9 episode of Dynamite, Jericho, a former ROH World Champion, left the arena frustrated following a disagreement with Bryan Keith and Big Bill. Since then, he has not returned to regular AEW programming, yet remains highly visible through his social media presence and wrestling history.
Recently, Jericho captured attention by sharing a graphic on his Instagram story under the title World Wrestling Federation ERA vs. ERA. This fan-created image showcased hypothetical dream matchups between stars of the Golden Era and those of the Attitude Era, specifically highlighting clashes that never happened inside the ring. Among these, Jericho focused on a potential bout between himself and “Macho Man” Randy Savage, emphasizing the pairing as something he’s always considered his ultimate unrealized contest. Although both wrestlers were part of World Championship Wrestling at the same time, they never competed against each other before Savage’s passing in 2011. Jericho has previously referred to Savage as his dream opponent, lending added weight to his recent online post.
“A TRUE DREAM MATCH,” he wrote. —Chris Jericho, Wrestler
In addition to honoring Randy Savage, Jericho’s social media activity has included references to other WWE legends. Earlier this week, he posted a video highlighting his 2005 attack on former rival and wrestling icon John Cena. Their heated feud that year centered around the WWE Championship, resulting in high-profile matches at SummerSlam and Vengeance, both also involving Christian. Their rivalry reignited in 2008 with showdowns for the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series and Armageddon, further solidifying their shared legacy.
These conversations about legendary cross-era matchups and memorable rivalries underscore Jericho’s continued influence and deep connections within the world of professional wrestling. Despite his absence from weekly AEW shows, his reflections on dream matches like facing Randy Savage keep his legacy relevant and inspire fans to revisit wrestling’s most iconic periods and personalities.
