With WWE bringing Smackdown and Saturday Night’s Main Event to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, this weekend, rumors have been swirling about a potential appearance by Chris Jericho. Given Jericho’s Canadian roots and recent free agency buzz, speculation has been high that the wrestling legend might show up in his home country.
Jericho is already booked for a different engagement on the other side of the continent.
Jericho’s Commitment At NAMM Show
Jericho is advertised to perform with his band this Friday, January 23, at the Anaheim Arena in Anaheim, California. The performance is for JAMM Night, a free concert that is part of the annual National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) gathering.
Scheduling Conflict Rules Out Montreal Appearance
Jericho is expected to remain at the NAMM convention for the duration of the weekend. This schedule places him in the Los Angeles area during the same time frame as WWE’s events in Montreal. Unless there is a significant, last-minute change to his plans, Jericho will not be in attendance for Smackdown or Saturday Night’s Main Event.
This news comes amidst ongoing speculation about Jericho’s wrestling future following the expiration of his AEW contract at the end of 2025. While a return to WWE remains a topic of conversation within the industry, it appears his musical commitments will keep him away from the ring this particular weekend.
