Chris Jericho has been part of AEW since day one and he sees no reason why he should leave Tony Khan’s promotion.
Looking back, Chris Jericho’s career is similar to the Undertaker. Somehow, he has managed to stay towards the top during most of his pro wrestling run. He worked for ECW, WCW, WWE, NJPW and now AEW. He has been credited for working with lesser-known talent and not having a problem putting someone over.
Most figured after time in WWE, Jericho return to WWE. Cody Rhodes was with AEW since day one as well, before returning to WWE as a major star. While talking with Gabby AF, Jericho is happy in AEW and has no plans to leave for WWE.
“I don’t really see any reason why I would want to leave at this point,” said Jericho. “Never say that I wouldn’t go, but I have zero plans of that. I like it here and I like the people I work with. I enjoy coming to work every week, which was not always the case in WWE, and it’s weird how that is the case here.”
Difference Between WWE And AEW
“But, it’s a different vibe and I have a lot of fun here in AEW. There are still great moments for Jericho and a lot I can do. I don’t shut the door on anything. To me, WWE isn’t the be all-end all. It’s not something I’ve really thought about. I like watching and reading about what’s going on, the buzz that they have, but I also like my company and I helped start AEW.”
Lately, Jericho’s 30 plus years has come into question. He was accused of being creepy around female talent, particularly Kylie Rae. The fans turned on Jericho, while Tony Khan stayed by his side. Kenny Omega is suffering diverticulitis and Sammy Guevara has been suspended. Therefore, Jericho has been floating around AEW for months without a real program. So, does anyone think Chris Jericho will leave AEW for WWE?
