Chris Jericho draws inspiration from David Bowie in reinventing his persona and staying relevant in his over 35-year wrestling career.
Jericho’s latest character change for his 2026 AEW return is influenced by the idea of self-titled albums like Metallica’s “Black Album” and The Beatles’ “White Album.”
By simplifying his character to just “Jericho,” he aims to evoke different eras of his wrestling career without contradicting his current persona.
Jericho’s approach of removing one word from his name has sparked curiosity and conversation among fans, keeping his character fresh and engaging.
