WCW legend almost missed his match against Chris Jericho on AEW Dynamite

Former WCW star Juventud Guerrera wrestled on AEW Dynamite earlier this month. He recently made his first appearance on TNT in over two decades, wrestling Chris Jericho on AEW Dynamite. Guerrera was chosen as the "third laborer of Jericho" by MJF. Nick Hausman of WrestlingINC., recently interviewed him.

The interview with Nick Hausman revealed how he almost missed his match on AEW Dynamite because he missed the initial connecting flight from Houston to Jacksonville.

"They flew me in a day before. At this time, it was three hours in customs,” Guerrera revealed. “I missed the connecting flight from Houston to Jacksonville. I called the company. I called Chris Jericho. They’re like, ‘Okay, don’t worry,’ and then the next flight, it was 10 in the morning, but that was sold out and then the following flight, it was 11:30."

"I was to arrive in Jacksonville at 3:30. I was like, no, this is my comeback, and I can’t be there late because of customs. I was trying to relax because there’s nothing you can do so just relax. They got me a hotel in Houston, and then I was rushing. I gotta wake up at six in the morning, go to the airport, take the plane and then arrive in Jacksonville. I got there at 1:00, so they picked me up and then straight to the arena. A lot of emotions in between." H/T: WrestlingINC
