Former AEW champion Chris Jericho has reached an incredible pro-wrestling milestone. The Learning Tree has not appeared on the Tony Khan-led company's programming in several months now.

Chris Jericho has not been featured on All Elite Wrestling television since he walked out on his acolytes, Big Bill and Bryan Keith, this past April on Dynamite, shortly after losing his ROH World Title to Bandido at Dynasty 2025. Although the promotion has hosted several major events and pay-per-views since then, the inaugural AEW World Champion has remained conspicuous in his absence from them.

In the meantime, after he liked a social media post regarding the end of his All Elite contract, rumors have been circulating of Jericho's potential AEW departure and subsequent WWE return. Reports have also emerged suggesting that the sports entertainment juggernaut was interested in bringing Y2J back to its fold. Amidst his continued hiatus, the 54-year-old took to X/Twitter a few hours ago to reveal that he had wrestled his very first match against Lance Storm at a show held in the Ponoka Moose Hall in Ponoka, Alberta, 35 years ago.

He also indicated that his time in the squared circle was set to continue:

Triple H dislikes these WWE stars - Who are they?

"Crazy to think it’s been 35 years to the day of my VERY FIRST MATCH! I faced Lance Storm in Ponoka, Alberta, at the Ponoka Moose Hall, in front of about 85 people. I have had a wonderful, amazing, one-in-a-million career since then, and the good news is….IT AIN’T OVER YET!" Jericho wrote.
