Chris Jericho: 7th Rock 'N' Wrestling cruise.

Chris Jericho is already making waves for his next Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager at Sea, set to sail from Miami to the Bahamas in November 2026. While the cruise, a nearly annual tradition since 2018, promises another fantastic getaway, the initial list of talent has raised a few eyebrows, especially concerning Jericho’s own wrestling future.

For years, Jericho’s cruises have featured a strong contingent of wrestlers from AEW, the promotion he helped launch. However, the first batch of names announced for the November 7-11, 2026 voyage includes Chris Jericho himself, but notably, no other AEW stars. This absence fuels the ongoing chatter about Jericho’s contract situation; his current deal with AEW expires at the start of 2026, making him a free agent. With rumors swirling about a potential return to WWE, the cruise lineup adds another fascinating wrinkle to where the wrestling legend might land next.

Despite the AEW mystery, the cruise boasts an impressive and diverse roster of wrestling talent, legends, and media personalities eagerly awaiting fans on the high seas. Here’s who's currently on board for the 2026 adventure: Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, Saraya, The Great Muta, Elayna Black (the former Cora Jade), Ted DiBiase, Carlito, Shotzi Blackheart, Fred Ottman (Tugboat), Vampiro, Marcus Bagwell, The Blue Meanie, AJ Francis, Natalia Markova, Victoria Crawford (the former Alicia Fox), Mo Jabari, Indi Hartwell, Lacey Lane, Kacy Catanzaro, Ricky Knight Jr., and Sonny Onoo. Ensuring the wrestling discussions keep flowing, SiriusXM’s Pro Wrestling Nation will be represented by Dave LaGreca, Nic Nemeth, and Bully Ray, alongside wrestling interview guru Chris Van Vliet and Gabby LaSpisa.

One name to especially look out for is our very own Natalia Markova! She’s not just appearing; she’s the reigning Jericho Cruise Women’s Oceanic Champion! Markova made history back on February 3, 2025, during the previous cruise, by winning a tournament and defeating Tasha Steelz in the final to become the very first champion.

As the pre-sale for this seventh Jericho cruise is already underway, fans are left to wonder about more than just who will win the next title on deck. By the time the ship sets sail in 2026, we’ll know how Jericho’s contract situation has played out – whether he re-signs with AEW or makes a highly anticipated return to WWE. Either way, this cruise promises to be a memorable one.
