Chris Jericho will not appear on this week’s AEW Dynamite due to a television project filming in New York City.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Jericho is currently in New York for the project, which has not yet been publicly identified. It is also unclear whether the filming is connected to wrestling or a separate venture.
Jericho had been featured regularly on both Dynamite and AEW Collision in recent weeks following his return to AEW television. His re-signing with the company on a multi-year deal earlier this month reinforced expectations that he would remain a consistent presence moving forward.
This absence is described as a one-time situation tied to the filming schedule rather than a change in his role.
The Chris Jericho AEW Dynamite absence comes as the company prepares for a loaded episode featuring multiple title matches and key matchups.
The advertised card for this week’s Dynamite includes:
AEW Championship
Darby Allin (c) vs. Brody King
AEW International Championship
Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Ace Austin
AEW TNT Championship
Kevin Knight (c) vs. MJF
AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross (c) vs. Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida
Tag Team Match
Roppongi Vice vs. Adam Copeland & Christian Cage
The Brawling Birds in action
Jericho’s absence does not affect the advertised matches, and he is expected to return to AEW programming following the completion of his filming commitment.
