After a lengthy break from active wrestling, former AEW and WWE World Champion Chris Jericho has made an unexpected return, appearing alongside Nicole Kidman in a wrestling scene for Apple TV’s upcoming series, Margo’s Got Money Troubles. Jericho’s last wrestling match took place at AEW Dynasty 2025 against Bandido before stepping away from the ring.

Though fans have anticipated his in-ring comeback, Jericho’s recent appearance was not in a wrestling promotion but rather as part of a scripted television series. Set in what appears to be an independent wrestling ring, Kidman is featured wearing vibrant wrestling attire while Jericho stands behind her, providing a notable image ahead of the show’s April 15, 2026 premiere, which also stars Michelle Pfeiffer.

Details on Margo’s Got Money Troubles and Jericho’s Role

The series, based on a best-selling novel, follows the story of Margo, a young woman who, after becoming pregnant by her professor, turns to OnlyFans to support herself and her child. The storyline incorporates Margo’s use of marketing lessons learned from her professional wrestler father, adding authenticity to the wrestling-themed elements of the show. Elle Fanning, a cast member, discussed these plot elements in a recent Elle interview, drawing attention to the blend of family and wrestling dynamics.

Upcoming Prospects for Jericho’s Official Wrestling Return

Speculation continues about Jericho’s potential return to WWE later this year, where he may engage in a retirement storyline akin to those of John Cena and AJ Styles. Despite rumors, Jericho remains listed on AEW’s active roster, making his status somewhat uncertain. With the 2026 Royal Rumble event approaching within days, many expect Jericho to make an appearance or compete, especially after Triple H hinted at several surprises for the show, fueling anticipation around Jericho’s wrestling future.
