Mike Tyson and Chris Jericho almost had a cinematic match together in the past.
Jericho and Tyson are no strangers to one another as they have interacted repeatedly in WWE and both have spoke about their relationship previously.
Jericho spoke on the AEW-some podcast recently noted that at one point, there were plans for he and Tyson to work together in a cinematic match that would parody “They Live.”
Mike Tyson and I almost had a cinematic match. We were this close to doing it, Tyson vs. Jericho in a New York Street Fight, but we couldn’t make it happen. We really were deep in negotiations too. We were going to do it in New York in an alley, like an alley fight, basically. Think ‘They Live’ with Tyson and Jericho, that’s what I had in mind,”
Chris Jericho
While Tyson still appeared in AEW several times, he would not compete in a match like Jericho and AEW had hoped due to prior commitments. Time will tell if we will ever see Tyson compete in a match with AEW and if he does, will it be with Chris Jericho.
