After missing over a year of action, Bandido returned to the ring and had his eyes set on Chris Jericho and his ROH World Championship. The two men squared off in a title match on the 19th February episode of Collision, and Jericho emerged victorious. However, Bandido was still not done with Jericho and continued to pursue the ROH World Title.

Jericho made his feud personal when he attacked Gravity and stole his mask. Bandido was able to retrieve Gravity's mask on a recent episode of Collision. As a result, the former WWE star issued a title vs. mask challenge to Bandido for AEW Dynasty 2025.

EC3 comes to Chris Jericho's defense

Chris Jericho is widely considered a legend in the world of professional wrestling. He has been around for a long time and manages to stay relevant. However, there have been claims that the former WWE star is against pushing or putting over young talent in recent years.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, EC3 came to the defense of Chris Jericho by calling him one of the GOATs of professional wrestling. He also noted that Jericho will always be over:

"He's in the running for one of the GOATs I would say in multiple different eras. Like, he’s such a pro, it’s not gonna bother him. If it did, he would never show it. He knows how to be unemotional, how to approach it from a business. He’s probably having fun with it and if you hear thousands of people chanting something in your direction, whether it’s negative because you’re a ‘pro wrestling bad guy,’ remember, or positive, you walk to the back saying ‘I know what I’m doing,’ and that’s being over. MF is over for sure and he always will be over," said the former WWE star. [From 3:04 to 3:50]
