On the latest episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff talked about WWE’s ongoing partnership with TNA, the future of Chris Jericho, and more. TNA makes its debut on AMC with a live episode this week.

WWE and TNA have been working together since late 2024. Meanwhile, Jericho has been speculated as headed to WWE in the immediate future. Bischoff weighed in on the idea of Jericho potentially making a crossover appearance on Impact. You can check out some highlights below:

On WWE helping TNA:

“I absolutely believe that WWE is going to try to strategically help TNA in any way possible. Because it’s in WWE’s best interest if TNA is successful. For a lot of reasons, it’s in their best interest.”

On the Idea Of Jericho Showing Up On TNA’s AMC Debut:

“This is the first time I heard that there may be something in that agreement that puts WWE in a favorable position if there’s going to be an exit or sale of the company. If that’s true — that’s an if — but if that’s true, then I absolutely am convinced that this is a great opportunity for Chris to reintroduce himself to the WWE Universe in a storyline-driven way that makes him the ultimate babyface. Canadian too, by the way… If Chris can be instrumental, play that Lex Luger-like kind of surprise. But at the same time be a part of the program and create a battle between those two brands? Chris wins, he’s going to get that retirement guaranteed. But in the meantime, he’s having fun doing something that fits his character and where he’s at in his career. And it checks all kinds of boxes. I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t happen, and disappointed too, by the way.”
