Chris Jericho to battle Juventud Guerrera next week on AEW Dynamite
Immediately after Chris Jericho won his match against Nick Gage, MJF announced the next labor. He revealed the stipulation for the next match would be, the first wrestler to hit a maneuver off the top wins.
However, he added that he’s known to hold grudges and rolled out footage from the 13th November 2019, edition of Dynamite. In the footage, Jericho belittles MJF on the mic by mentioning Juventud Guerrera in his promo.

Although MJF doesn’t know Juventud and asks Jericho who is he? At the time, ‘Le Champion’ told him to google the name, and fast forward two years later, he did! The ‘Salt of the Earth’ then announced that Jericho’s third labor would be against Juventud Guerrera!
He said, “Labor No. 3, one of the greatest luchadors in the history of professional wrestling is coming back to TNT after fifteen years to face his oldest and most bitter rival, the ‘The Juice’ Juventud Guerrera!”
Juventud Guerrera and Chris Jericho feuded in WCW for the Cruiserweight Championship in 1998. It was during their feud that Juventud lost his mask in a mask versus Title match. And by the looks of it, it seems like Juvi hasn’t forgotten what ‘Le Champion’ did to him thirteen years ago.
The Jericho and Guerrera feud in WCW was one of the most memorable rivalries in the cruiserweight division. Sadly, that is the only time the two feuded as Jericho would eventually leave for WWE in 1999. But whatever brief feud they had, they will reignite next week with Juventud looking to get retribution for the past.
