The following is the advertisement listed on premier.ticketek.com.au advertising an appearance by The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla:
“See your favorite WWE Superstars live in action as featured on RAW including: Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman (Street Fight), Dean Ambrose, The Miz w/ Maryse, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Bray Wyatt, Sheamus, Cesaro, Chris Jericho, Apollo Crews, Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Emma and many more.”
What’s next?
The live events in Asia are still ongoing as Y2J is expected to wrestle on June 30 and July 1 in Japan. Once he finishes the dates in Japan, Jericho’s won’t be seen in a WWE ring for another two months.
Author’s take
Jericho’s return to the WWE in September will definitely be an added incentive for the fans in Australia to go and watch the WWE Live Events. Y2J’s opponents have yet to be announced, but he will probably work with an up and coming Superstar.
