AEW changed plans for Chris Jericho due to COVID-19

By Harrison - March 31, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken over the world and has had major effects on professional wrestling as well. AEW apparently had to postpone a feud they intended on returning to due to the disease, which includes plans for Chris Jericho.

Jericho took to Twitter and replied to a fan who asked about his feud with Jungle Boy. The fan said the company did not do enough with Jungle Boy, who had a brief feud with Jericho. Jericho then revealed that the company did plan on revisiting the feud.

Had the world not gone crazy, we would be revisiting that now.

So it seems the COVID-19 disease prevented that feud from taking place. The company had to change a lot of things due to the outbreak, including shows taking place in front of an empty arena. We will have to see when AEW decides to revisit the feud between him and Jungle Boy.

its common sense to stop fueds, story telling in wrestling is irrelevant until this pandemic is resolved.

I think this was Jericho just playing a hype man for AEW here as I do not think they really do not think they dropped the Jungle Boy feud because of the virus, they dropped it way before that as the focus was the Moxley feud, and as soon as Hardy was available they wanted that. Even without the virus, there is no way they were not already planning Hardy as his next feud.
Jungle Boy was way down the pecking order.
