Y2J Chris Jericho said his goodbyes to his WWE friends and co-workers yesterday at the Smackdown tapings as he is about to embark on a tour for Fozzy.

“So long to @WWE for now…2013 was one of my favorite in ring yrs ever! Thx for always sticking w Y2J & see u on the road soon w @FOZZYROCK,” Jericho wrote on his Twitter.

His last match “for now” was against Curtis Axel and the match will be part of this Friday’s Smackdown television broadcast. Jericho was involved in one of the best matches on RAW this week against Rob Van Dam, a match which he lost after a 5 Star Frogsplash from the returning RVD.

Jericho’s deal with WWE is somewhat special and he returns whenever Fozzy are not touring the world.
