At the age of 54, ROH World Champion is closer to the end of his career than the beginning, but he's still featured weekly on AEW television and leading The Learning Tree.
2025 will mark the final full-time years in wrestling for legends John Cena and Hiroshi Tanahashi, but Jericho doesn't see himself doing something similar.
"It’s weird for me, I don’t know if I want that much pomp and circumstance. I’m not sure if that’s John’s idea or if it’s the company’s idea. A big retirement match, that’s a lot of pressure. Like Sting with his last one, it was so good, but imagine if it wasn’t. Imagine like [Ric] Flair and Shawn [Michaels], that was a great match but then Flair was like, ‘God, I want to come back.’ It’s like a rock and roll band, why put that sort of stamp on it? This is the retirement tour and then you decide to come back. To me, I just kind of go with the flow and see where I am. Once again, I do not have the ego that would demand an official retirement tour or retirement match. If it’s something that I think would be interesting and I thought would be fun and cool, then maybe I’d do it," Jericho said will speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight.
Cena will end his career in December while Tanahashi will have his last match at Wrestle Kingdom 2026.
