Chris Jericho teases identity of mystery partner after major heartbreak on AEW TV

Chris Jericho seems to be in brighter spirits on AEW Rampage following his disappointment on Dynamite this week. This could be due to him seemingly finding a partner for Forbidden Door.

The Learning Tree has received a challenge from Samoa Joe, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata for a trios match at Forbidden Door. However, Jericho was missing one more partner after Bryan Keith sustained an arm injury at the hands of Shibata.

Earlier this week on Dynamite, he sent out an invite to Minoru Suzuki, someone he has worked with multiple times in the past, but he got turned down. The Japanese star wanted nothing to do with him and instead wanted a match against him.

On Rampage, the Learning Tree was backstage as Bryan Keith addressed the challenge in an interview with Renee Paquette. Chris Jericho then revealed that he had just gotten off the phone with someone he knew and had found a partner for Forbidden Door. He would reveal the name tomorrow night on Collision.

At this point, it remains to be seen who this ends up being, but Jericho better hope he is someone who can head-to-head with Joe, Shibata, and HOOK.
