As part of The Learning Tree, Chris Jericho has been feuding with former FTW Champion HOOK, Shibata, and Samoa Joe in recent months.
Jericho previously Samoa Joe in a Stampede Street Fight on the July 10 episode of AEW Dynamite. The match came to an end when Jericho carried Joe on a forklift and sent him through a wall. Joe has been absent ever since, as he was loaded into an ambulance.
During a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Chris Jericho stated that he loves getting the chance to wrestle Samoa Joe.
“I don’t think you’ll ever find anybody who loves wrestling more than me,” said Jericho. “I love doing this, and I love the chance to wrestle Joe.”
Jericho also expressed his excitement about continuing the story with Joe upon his return down the road.
“We had two matches on Raw in 2017, and if my recollection is correct, one of them was about three minutes long with a bullsh– DQ finish. Our Stampede Street Fight was literally our first proper match. It reminded me of being in the ring with The Undertaker. We’d been in the wrestling business for decades, but we’d barely touched. So we decided to do something together. F—— A man, Joe is great. I can’t wait to continue the story.”
Meanwhile, HOOK returned on the August 7 episode of AEW Dynamiteand brawled with Jericho. HOOK will appear on the August 14 episode.
