During the CMLL Viernes Espectacular wrestling event in Mexico City on Friday night, Chris Jericho made an unexpected appearance. The ex-AEW World Champion, disguised in a luchador mask, intervened in the middle of a bout between wrestlers Mistico and Averno, where he assaulted Mistico.
Jericho proceeded to challenge Mistico, delivering an impassioned promo to assert his intention. He passionately declared, “I’m overjoyed to be in this place. A substantial part of my existence has been Mexico – wrestling here, dwelling here, in this vibrant city and nationwide. Majority regard me as the best of all time. Yet tonight, [Translated from Spanish], I am the supreme wrestler in history. Mistico, you can’t measure up. You are not in my league. I embody the spirit of a lion, whereas you symbolize the heart of a mouse.”
Switching to English, Jericho added, “Mistico, I’m ready to challenge you anytime, anywhere you choose. Just say the word. Arena Mexico is your claimed territory. Three decades ago, it was my turf, and I’m ready to reclaim it from you.”
His intense promo can be viewed below:
