Chris Jericho on Why He Chose To Stay In AEW Over Returning To WWE & Who In AEW He Would Still Like To Work With

A recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio featured Chris Jericho as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Jericho’s thoughts about his reasons for his decision to re-sign with AEW earlier this year instead of returning to WWE.

“When it was time to kind of start thinking about coming back, obviously you weigh your options. And there is a lot of factors, but the bottom line is this, and this was the one that really clinched it for me, was I’ve got skin in the game in AEW.

I helped start AEW, and in a lot of ways, if there was no Chris Jericho, there might not have been an AEW. And there certainly wasn’t one before me. There was a WWE before Chris Jericho. There was a New Japan before. There was a CMLL before. And there’ll be an AEW after I leave, obviously.

And I can’t wait to see how much bigger the company gets over the next 10 years, etc. But when it came down to it, it was like, I like working for Tony. We had to work some things out, which we did. It wasn’t hard to do.”

Jericho also gave his thoughts about who in AEW he still hopes to work with

“Kevin Knight, I would love to do more with him. I’d love to be a tag team with Ricochet. I’d love to be a tag team with Ciampa. I mean, I could do something with Jack Perry. I could work with Mark Davis. I could work with Kyle Fletcher. I could work with The Rascalz. The Rascalz could be like my minions.”
