Former AEW World Champion To Miss Dynamite

Chris Jericho won’t appear on this week’s AEW Dynamite, with the veteran skipping the show for a legitimate reason — a FOZZY tour date. While AEW Dynamite emanates from Asheville, North Carolina, Jericho will be in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Wednesday night performing with FOZZY at Capital City Music Hall as part of the band’s Twisted Faith 2026 Tour. His absence comes just weeks ahead of AEW Double or Nothing 2026, where he’s already locked into the Stadium Stampede main event.

Chris Jericho FOZZY Twisted Faith 2026 Tour Dates

The full FOZZY Twisted Faith 2026 tour schedule includes:

• May 12 — Philadelphia, PA — Underground Arts
• May 13 — Harrisburg, PA — Capital City Music Hall
• May 14 — Columbus, OH — Sonic Temple
• May 15 — St. Charles, IL — Arcada Theatre
• May 16 — Flint, MI — Machine Shop

The tour dates have been on Jericho’s calendar for months, making the Dynamite miss a planned absence rather than a last-minute issue. Jericho also missed the April 29 episode of AEW Dynamite while filming a television project in New York City. It was later confirmed that he filmed a guest appearance for Dexter: Resurrection on Paramount+, showing that his split between wrestling, music, and acting is being managed carefully.

Chris Jericho Stadium Stampede Team Set For Double Or Nothing

Last week on AEW Dynamite, Ricochet challenged Jericho to join the Stadium Stampede match and insisted he wouldn’t be able to find partners. Jericho quickly proved him wrong by assembling a stacked lineup of Kenny Omega, Jack Perry, and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). The team will face The Demand’s Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona along with the Don Callis Family’s Mark Davis at Double or Nothing 2026 on May 24. A fifth mystery participant for the opposing team is still expected to be announced before the May 24 Louis Armstrong Stadium card in Queens, New York.
