The Nueve has not wrestled since his loss to Bandido at AEW Dynasty 2025 in April. During a recent appearance on The Tim Weisberg Show, Jericho clarified that he is "not done yet" with wrestling. “Well, you never know, man. That’s the thing is — I’m not done yet. So, still figuring out everything and we’ll see where I end up. But I’m pretty sure you’ll see me in 2026 in a wrestling ring somewhere," he said. [H/T: F4WOnline]Jericho was the first AEW World Champion and is credited with putting the company on the map.

Paul Wight says he won't return to the ring unless he can stay physically prepared.Paul Wight recently opened up about whether he is considering retirement. The former WWE star has not wrestled since November 2023, when he took part in a Street Fight, but he has continued to appear sporadically on AEW programming. His extended in-ring absence has led many fans to question whether his wrestling career may be nearing its end.Speaking at Notsam Wrestling Live, Wight made clear that he does not want to return to the ring unless he can perform at a high level. “The last thing I’m gonna do is go out in that ring and have people go, ‘aww, poor Paul. They should just kill him, like Old Yeller or something.’ We’re not gonna have that. If I’m not out there humping and bumping and getting after everything and slapping people’s souls out of their chest… then it’s time to hang up the boots,” said Wight [H/T RSN]#1.
