FTW Champion and rock legend in his own right, Chris Jericho, is all set to double down on his stadium-sized dreams at AEW All In 2024. Remember that epic moment at AEW All In 2023 when Jericho wrestled the British sensation Will Ospreay while channeling his inner Freddie Mercury, complete with his band Fozzy belting out his entrance anthem “Judas”? Well, brace yourselves because it’s happening again, folks! Jericho is about to add another notch to his already bedazzled belt of accomplishments by turning Wembley Stadium into his personal rock ‘n’ wrestling playground for the second time.
In a recent interview with the Daily Star, Jericho spilled the beans on his plans to get Fozzy back on the Wembley stage. The man who once had “The Learning Tree” sing his way to the ring is now setting the stage for yet another iconic moment. “We’re going to do it again this year,” Jericho confidently declared.
Now, if you thought wrestling live was nerve-wracking, try singing and wrestling live in front of thousands of fans. But Jericho’s not sweating it. He explained, “It’s live energy. Anytime you do something live, there’s a certain magic to it, and whether that’s wrestling or music, or if you’re a stand-up comedian, or if you’re a stage actor, you get one shot at it. There’s no take two, there’s no take three, you’ve got to really do everything you can to make sure that people are enjoying themselves.”
For those keeping score at home, by the time Jericho steps into the ring against HOOK on August 25, Fozzy will have logged a grand total of five minutes of face-melting music at Wembley Stadium. Now, that may not sound like much, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s a rock ‘n’ roll lifetime—especially when most bands don’t even get five seconds at the hallowed venue. And in typical Jericho fashion, he’s treating it as the honor of a lifetime.
So, mark your calendars, and get ready for the Fozzy-powered, Judas-singing, Y2J-slaying extravaganza that only Chris Jericho can deliver. Wembley Stadium, prepare to meet your maker…again!
