Chris Jericho Signs Three Year Contract Extension With AEW

AEW announced that Chris Jericho has signed a contract extension with the company through December 2025.

The extension will also see Jericho “increase his responsibilities within AEW, serving as a producer and creative advisor in addition to continuing as a mentor to young talent,” AEW said.

Jericho has been with AEW since its start in 2019.

“I’ve been with AEW since literally day one, and in the midst of enjoying what is being called a career year for me in 2022 – after 32 years in the pro wrestling business – I am excited and proud to announce the extension of my relationship with AEW and the Khan family,” Jericho said via AEW’s press release. “Working closely with Tony Khan every day is a rewarding and stimulating experience from both a creative and a professional standpoint, which has reignited my love for pro wrestling. I don’t think I would still be wrestling at this level or be as passionate about the business if AEW didn’t exist.

“As a result, I feel a great responsibility to keep AEW the best it can be both inside and out of the ring. Over the next three years, I’m looking forward to not only continuing my work in the ring, but to also focus on my ever-increasing responsibilities outside the ring, including producing, advising and assisting Tony with creative ideas, and providing leadership, encouragement and guidance for our fantastic roster. AEW is a great team – a team that I’m proud to say I’ll be a part of for a very long time.”

Jericho will defend his ROH World Championship against Dalton Castle tonight on Dynamite.
