Chris Jericho AEW whereabouts became a topic of widespread speculation recently, as questions arose regarding his status with the company. While rumors suggested a possible return to WWE, Jericho was confirmed to be in England during this week’s AEW Dynamite, performing with his band Fozzy, effectively dispelling theories about a surprise AEW appearance. These developments occurred ahead of AEW Dynamite’s broadcast from Ontario, California.
Mercedes Mone’s Upcoming Matches Outside AEW
Mercedes Mone will soon return to wrestling, but not immediately on AEW programming. After going on an indefinite break last month following her loss of the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale, Mone is scheduled for a series of international appearances. She will headline CMLL’s all-women event, La Noche De Las Amazonas, on March 6 at Arena Mexico, where she will defend the CMLL Women’s World Championship against an unnamed opponent. This will mark her first match in Mexico since successfully defending the title against Persephone last October.
Following her match in Mexico, Mone plans to travel directly to Italy to defend her BestYa Women’s Championship against Swan on March 8, coinciding with International Women’s Day. Additionally, she is booked to defend her WPW Women’s Championship at an event in Winnipeg, Canada, on March 31.
Jon Moxley Pays Tribute to Randy Orton on AEW Dynamite
Jon Moxley sparked attention during the recent AEW Dynamite broadcast by performing a cutter maneuver remarkably similar to Randy Orton’s signature RKO. In a chaotic trios match, Moxley teamed with his Death Riders allies PAC and Claudio Castagnoli to face The Don Callis Family members Konosuke Takeshita, Mark Davis, and Josh Alexander. During a sequence where Takeshita was under heavy assault, Moxley executed the move resembling Orton’s iconic finisher.
The match was highly competitive, featuring intense exchanges between Mark Davis and Josh Alexander as well. Ultimately, Moxley’s faction secured victory when the One True King delivered a powerful underhook slam to Alexander. This bout also served as a buildup to the upcoming Grand Slam Australia event, where Moxley and Takeshita will face off for the Continental Championship on Saturday.
MJF Reacts Strongly to AEW’s Social Media Content
AEW World Champion MJF openly criticized the company over a YouTube video titled
MJF Being Your Favorite A-Hole for 45 Minutes Straight.
The clip showcased highlights emphasizing his villainous persona since joining AEW in 2019. Despite the video appearing to celebrate MJF’s success as a heel character, he expressed clear dissatisfaction with the disrespectful caption on his X account.
“Who cleared this caption?!?!?!?!?,”
MJF wrote on X.
MJF is preparing to defend his title against Brody King at Grand Slam Australia this Saturday. If victorious, he is slated to face the winner of the Andrade versus Hangman Page match at Revolution 2026 in March, continuing AEW’s evolving championship storyline.
Clarifying Chris Jericho’s Activities During AEW Dynamite Week
Since stepping away from AEW television in April 2025, there has been considerable speculation about Chris Jericho’s career direction, including rumors of a WWE comeback. Despite reports that his contract ended last year, Jericho remains listed on AEW’s official roster page, fueling further uncertainty.
Evidence of his whereabouts emerged hours before the AEW Dynamite event in Ontario, California, when Jericho shared updates from Bradford, England, where he was conducting a sold-out concert with his band Fozzy. This clearly indicated his absence from the wrestling show and dismissed rumors of a last-minute AEW appearance.
Upcoming Wrestling Events and Future Implications
Mercedes Mone’s scheduled international defenses highlight her ongoing career momentum outside AEW, while Jon Moxley’s recent in-ring nod to Randy Orton underlines continuing influences across wrestling promotions. MJF’s public dispute with AEW over digital content reveals tensions even within the promotion’s own talent pool.
Chris Jericho’s confirmed focus on music over wrestling appearances suggests his AEW future remains uncertain, though he maintains official ties for now. The upcoming Grand Slam Australia event promises to intensify storylines, featuring title defenses by MJF and a championship match between Jon Moxley and Konosuke Takeshita, signaling important developments for AEW heading into 2026.
