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.
