With the success of his first venture, Jericho announced yesterday that a second cruise is a go. In the video below, he said more details will be announced in January, but for fans who missed out the first time, they will get another shot to cruise with Jericho. Here is his full announcement.
“I want to thank all of you who were a part of Chris Jericho’s “Rock ‘N Wrestling Rager at Sea,” Jericho began. “We made history, we sold it out for the inaugural voyage, for the first time ever, wrestling in the middle of the ocean. We had live comedy, live rock ‘n roll, podcasts, all of you said it was the best vacation of your life. Well, I got some news for ya. Chris Jericho’s “Rock ‘N Wrestling Rager at Sea” part two, second wave, is happening! Yes, we did it! We’re gonna make it happen, all the details: who, what, where, when and how, coming up in January. In the meantime, sign up now at chrisjerichocruise.com for the mailing list, get all the information. It’s happening! I can’t believe, I’m so excited.”
At the end of last October, Chris Jericho’s cruise set sail out of Miami and featured a number of musicians, comedians, and ROH / Impact / NJPW wrestlers over the multi-day event.
The sold-out cruise included a ring on the top deck where the ROH Sea of Honor tournament took place, along with Alpha Club (Young Bucks and Jericho) vs. Bullet Club (Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and Marty Scurll), which was later streamed on FITE.

Former TNA President Dixie Carter took to Twitter yesterday and reacted to her “nephew” EC3 getting called up from WWE NXT to the main roster.
Dixie wrote, “So proud of you E! Congrats to @wwe too… Can’t wait to watch you hold those major titles in the air. Love you, Aunt D #toponepercent #wwe #raw #smackdown”
For those unaware, EC3 — aka Ethan Carter III — made his Impact debut as the spoiled nephew of Dixie Carter, who was playing a heel character on TV at the time. The two went on to form the stable Team Carter, which included Rockstar Spud (aka Drake Maverick).
Following an impressive showing on SmackDown Live last week, WWE has announced Mustafa Ali will now be joining the show permanently.
The announcement was made while commentary promoted Ali’s main event match on Tuesday evening. It was not said if he’ll continue to appear on 205 Live.
Later on in the episode, Mustafa picked up a huge upset win over Daniel Bryan in a tag team match where he was paired with former champ AJ Styles.
As we previously reported, RAW and SmackDown are undergoing changes with the McMahon family taking control again from a storyline standpoint. One of these changes was Paige being removed from her role as General Manager of SmackDown.
For those looking to get more familiar with the new SmackDown star, check out his appearance this week on Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast. The wrestler talks about being a cop prior to signing with WWE, building up the 205 Live brand and much more.

It was revealed last night on SmackDown Live that Paige is no longer the SD Live GM.
Shane McMahon kicked off SmackDown in the backstage area giving a speech to the roster about how things are going to be changing, just like what was said on RAW. He also explained that wrestlers will now be held accountable for what happens on the show every week.
He then brought Paige forward and praised her work as GM, but confirmed she’d be getting a new position on the show. It was not said what that would be quite yet.
The 26-year-old was assigned to the role in April after announcing her in-ring retirement.
This is all part of Vince McMahon and family announcing they’d be taking back control of Raw/SmackDown and shaking things up.
Tonight’s WWE SmackDown Live will take place from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California with fallout from TLC.
* The era of Asuka begins
* How will Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair respond to Ronda Rousey’s interference?
* Will “The New” Daniel Bryan’s crusade continue?
* Can anyone stop The Bar?
Bray Wyatt took to Twitter during tonight’s WWE RAW and made a very cryptic “goodbye” tweet.
Wyatt wrote – “I’m not a God,” Wyatt tweeted. “I never was. I’m sorry I said it, I was wrong. I know the true God now and all his power. I feel that I am forgiven for all the wickedness I have caused. My soul is clean now. My mind is clear. I see what I did wrong, what was done to me. They took it all.”
Adding, “I have so many things to fix. I realize that I was sick. My mind doesn’t work like other people’s, it gets lost and attached to ideals that are unrealistic and poisonous. My next journey will be to find my true calling. This is goodbye.”
Adding, “To all that have loved and supported us we say thank you. And ask that you have faith in us. I was put on this Earth to fix it, to change it. And I will not die until this is so. Goodbye my brothers and sisters. The journey is far from over.”
