Chris Jericho will return to action on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite against CMLL's Atlantis Jr., plus Kris Statlander & Skye Blue will settle their differences on the show.

Jericho returns to the ring for the first time since the February 7 Dynamite on the Wednesday, February 28 episode in a match against Atlantis Jr. as announced by AEW's Tony Khan on Tuesday. The legendary Atlantis will be in his son's corner for the bout.

Khan pointed out that Jericho and Atlantis teamed together in CMLL more than 30 years ago:
