Chris Jericho Reveals Truth About AEW’s Plans For Mike Tyson

Very interesting news has been revealed on Chris Jericho’s Podcast- ‘Talk with Jericho’. Apparently, Mike Tyson was supposed to make an appearance on AEW, and even knock out a superstar!

Yes, you heard that right. There were plans in which Mike Tyson himself would appear on AEW as a special segment. The superstar that was going to face the wrath of his punch was Sammy Guevara.

Chris Jericho has always been one to love talking. His influence made the Attitude Era what it was. “Y2J” has his own podcast- a place where he can talk as much as he wants.

Believe it or not, the content is very interesting and the recently revealed information stands testament to that. AEW did have plans to include big Mike on one of their episodes.

Mike Tyson was one of the most controversial professional boxers of all time. Known for getting too physical (and animal) in his matches, he was a force to reckon with.

You may remember him by that match in which he bit off his opponent’s ear. Yikes! People fear their lives when he enters the ring even today.

The special thing about Tyson is that even though it’s been years since he retired from professional boxing, his popularity hasn’t taken a dive. He is still widely respected by many people.

His most iconic feature is that hook to the side of the face that can knock an opponent out cold. WWE used him for segment earlier with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels and later again with Chris Jericho and D-Generation X. Michaels and Jericho were the unfortunate two to face the punch of Tyson.

AEW is using Mike Tyson to attract the audience’s attention

AEW managed to rope Tyson into their venture and he brought in with him a lot of talents. MMA Fighters Vitor Belfort, Rashad Evans, and Henry Cejudo came to Dynamite with him.

According to the podcast, Tyson was going to be set up with a match against Chris Jericho once again. However, AEW is yet to confirm this, or if Tyson will return.

If you’ve kept up with AEW, you may remember the brawl that occurred on the May 27th episode. The showdown was between Jericho’s Inner Circle and Tyson’s group.

According to Jericho, Sammy Guevara was supposed to get knocked out by Tyson in this segment, but last-minute changes prevented this from happening.

We are yet to hear about what AEW plans for “Iron Mike” and will definitely let you know as soon as we do. In the meantime, Tyson waits for his next victim.
