When Mike Tyson made his All Elite Wrestling debut at Double Or Nothing earlier this year, fans weren’t sure what the future held.
When the Baddest Man On The Planet appeared on Dynamite just days later and got into a big brawl with Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle, it seemed like an actual match was on the cards.
Unfortunately, Tyson hasn’t been seen on AEW television since that night, leaving plenty of people wondering what the end game was meant to be.
Now, El Champion himself has revealed there was a plan in place for him to face “Iron” Mike, but for whatever reason it wasn’t to be.
Speaking during his Saturday Night Special over the weekend, Jericho said: ‘Originally, I was supposed to work with [Mike] Tyson at the September pay-per-view, All Out 2, and we just couldn’t get it done in time.
‘So, the second match I had with Orange [Cassidy] was originally going to be the Mimosa Mayhem but we moved it to the rubber match position.’
Earlier in the year, Chris suggested a big Tyson fight was in the pipeline as he commented on their on-screen scrap.
‘It was amazing. We had such a chaotic night and I think it was a great way for us to re-introduce Mike and have some insanity on the show,’ Jericho told Digital Spy.
‘It was totally wild and woolly. It just shows that now more than ever Iron Mike Tyson is someone who’s very buzz-worthy.
‘He’s in great mental shape, physical shape and he’s ready to make a comeback. Whether that means a boxing match or whether it means a wrestling match or whatever it could be.’
Unfortunately, we’re still yet to see ‘whatever it could be’, but hopefully the company can revisit those plans in the future.
