Chris Jericho is suffering from a serious injury to his throat.
Due to the fact that Jericho suffered a “severely bruised larynx” at the Quake By The Lake edition of AEW Dynamite on August 10, Fozzy have announced today that the Save The World tour dates that were scheduled for September have been postponed. This is where he lost to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley in a match that ended in a rear naked choke submission. There is no information available at this time regarding exactly when Jericho was hurt; however, he was involved in a brawl following the match with CM Punk.
According to the statement released by Fozzy, even though Jericho’s injury is improving and the impact will not be long-lasting, his laryngologist has suggested that the first two weeks of the tour be postponed so that he can have sufficient time to recover completely.
The rescheduled tour dates for Fozzy have been moved to the spring of 2023, and the most recent information regarding the tour can be found on FozzyRock.com. The tour will now pick back up in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday, September 29.
Since his defeat at the hands of Moxley that night, Jericho has not competed in a match, but he is slated to go up against Bryan Danielson at the AEW All Out event on Sunday. During Danielson’s victory over Jake Hager on Wednesday night’s go-home episode of Dynamite, he provided commentary for the show and, after the match, he briefly got physical with Danielson.
Here is the full message and Instagram post from Jericho and his band:
