5 possible mystery partners for Chris Jericho at AEW TNT premiere

#2 Minoru Suzuki

Minoru Suzuki

New Japan Pro Wrestling hard hitter Minoru Suzuki might be a member of the NJPW roster, but he famously works as a freelancer with the company, and is not signed to an official deal. Suzuki has a verbal agreement in place with NJPW, which could technically allow him to make a surprise appearance at the AEW on TNT debut show.

With AEW emphasizing its in-ring product and physicality, Suzuki would make a great addition to the roster, even if only for sporadic appearances, given his notorious, stiff in-ring style.

Suzuki teaming up with Chris Jericho could be really fun to watch, especially if Y2J is able to secure another hard-hitting talent to be the third member of his team.

While it might be a long shot to see any NJPW talents appearing on AEW, as the two promotions have no working agreement in place, it would be excellent fantasy booking to see the 51 year old Japanese legend grace an American ring alongside Chris Jericho.
