Chris Jericho gave more insight into his surprise return and more on the April 8 edition of AEW Dynamite.
One week ago, Jericho appeared live on Dynamite after nearly a year away from TV. With Jericho only saying that he was home in his return promo, the first-ever AEW World Champion gave the fans more information as to why he is back.

Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone were on commentary for the show.
Before the show went live, Tony Khan announced that Kyle Fletcher had vacated the TNT Championship due to injury.
