All Elite Wrestling will present its third event, Fight For The Fallen, this Saturday night, just one night before WWE's Extreme Rules PPV. The AEW event will also run head-to-head against the EVOLVE 10th anniversary special which will be airing on WWE Network.

The stacked Fight For The Fallen card will be headlined by Cody and Dustin Rhodes vs The Young Bucks in a dream tag team match, and will also feature Kenny Omega vs Cima and more.

In addition to the above, All Elite Wrestling has announced that Chris Jericho will be given a "live mic" at Fight For The Fallen, and Jericho has promised his announcement will be controversial, and will be something AEW talents and officials do not want to - but need to - hear.

With the above in mind, let's take a look at 5 things Jericho could say during his appearance at Fight For The Fallen.


#5 He could quit

Since debuting with All Elite Wrestling, Jericho has played the role of the heel who feels he is not getting his due credit for "launching" AEW. Jericho has said time and time again that he is the one responsible for landing AEW a TV deal on TNT, and that he deserves all the credit for the budding promotion.

During his appearance at Fight For The Fallen this Saturday night, Jericho could threaten to quit the company if he does not get the "thank you" that he has been demanding since he made his AEW debut.

Jericho is set to face Adam "Hangman" Page at All Out at the end of the summer, and he could threaten to back out of the title match if he does not get the "thank you" from fans and AEW officials that he feels he deserves.

#4 He could call out Hangman Page

All Elite Wrestling does not yet have the luxury of weekly television to promote ongoing PPV feuds, so the company will need to take advantage of any television opportunity to further current storylines.

With Chris Jericho next competing inside an AEW ring at All Out, it will be important for AEW to seize on the opportunity at Fight For The Fallen to hype the Jericho vs Page match taking place in less than two months.

In a new promo video released earlier this week, Jericho has promised that he will address Page this Saturday night, and it might be a good idea for him to call out Hangman so the two can get physical before their big match at All Out.

Considering Page vs Jericho will headline All Out, and will be to crown the first-ever All Elite Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion, AEW needs to make a big splash in hyping Y2J vs Hangman this Saturday night.

#3 He could call out AEW President Tony Khan

It remains to be seen whether or not All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan plans to be an on-screen character in AEW, but he has represented the company with interviews and on-camera appearances to help the upstart brand.

It might be an interesting idea for Chris Jericho to call out Tony this weekend at Fight For The Fallen, demanding a personal thank you.

Jericho could proceed to humiliate Khan in front of the live crowd, and perhaps even threaten to put a beating on the AEW President if he fails to comply with Jericho's wishes, which could then present a great opportunity for Hangman Page to hit the ring and make the save.

Pro wrestling certainly does not need another on-screen "authority" figure, but Tony could present himself in a more unique way that retains him as an on-screen character, but not in a traditional authority role.

#2 He could add a major stipulation to his All Out match

Chris Jericho has promised something big at this weekend's Fight For The Fallen event, calling his announcement something that AEW officials will not like.

Since Jericho is hellbent on getting his "thank you" from the fans, All Elite Wrestling officials, and anyone else who will listen, he could feasibly hold Fight For The Fallen hostage until he gets what he wants.

Jericho's demands could ultimately lead to Hangman Page ending the "hostage situation" with an attack, helping to hype Page vs Jericho at the upcoming All Out event.

I don't predict Jericho will actually wrestle at Fight For The Fallen, as it feels more important to properly build his match against Hangman Page, so I could very well see some type of stipulation being added to the title match taking place at All Out.

With AEW set to crown its first-ever World Champion at the sequel to All In, a major stipulation could enhance what will already be a highly anticipated bout.

#1 He could announce a new talent signing

All Elite Wrestling has landed some big names since announcing its formation this year, with the company scooping up Jon Moxley after he departed WWE, a signing that Jim Ross recently praised as AEW's biggest to date.

As the AEW ball continues to roll towards All Out, it is possible Chris Jericho could announce another top talent acquisition at Fight For The Fallen.

He worked incredibly well alongside Kevin Owens during his last run in WWE, and it's possible he could announce a new All Elite Wrestling talent signing that could act as an enforcer for Jericho who feels above the rest of the talent roster.

Given All Elite Wrestling's partnership with various wrestling promotions, it's possible a talent share deal could see a big name make a surprise appearance this Saturday night.
