Chris Jericho Swaps The Ring For The Screen With Nicole Kidman

Chris Jericho's New Acting Adventure

While fans eagerly anticipate a possible return to the WWE ring, Chris Jericho has taken a different kind of leap – into the world of acting. On January 31, 2026, the wrestling legend thrilled his followers by announcing his role in the upcoming Apple TV series, "Margo’s Got Money Troubles," which boasts an all-star cast including Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning, and Nick Offerman. This intriguing series promises to blend elements of pro wrestling, OnlyFans, and complex family dynamics, with Jericho stepping into a wrestling-focused role.

"Excited to share a preview 📸 of my upcoming role in the new series, ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ on @appletv! Had a blast filming with the legendary Nicole Kidman & the hilarious @nickofferman, who headline an ALL-STAR CAST in the adaptation of the acclaimed novel about pro wrestling, OnlyFans & Margo (played by the amazing @ellefanning) getting creative with making money & raising a family. Premieres on April 15th on #AppleTV 📺"

Balancing Act: Wrestling and Acting

Jericho's venture into acting hasn't gone unnoticed amid swirling rumors about his wrestling future. With his AEW contract reportedly ending on December 31, 2025, speculation was rife that he might make a dazzling WWE comeback at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. However, between his new acting commitments and Fozzy's "Eyes On You" tour set to kick off in February, it seems the wrestling icon has a jam-packed schedule, leaving little room for a full-time return to the squared circle.

Jericho's Continued Wrestling Influence

Though Jericho's current commitments suggest a shift away from active wrestling, his role in "Margo’s Got Money Troubles" keeps him closely tied to the sport he loves. By portraying a wrestler in this major series, Jericho continues to influence the wrestling world – albeit from a fresh perspective. So, while a WWE return might not be on the immediate horizon, fans can still enjoy Jericho's larger-than-life persona in this exciting new venture.
