During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Austin revealed that Jericho had contacted him to be a future guest on his show following the airing of his episode with The Undertaker.

“I was having a beer one night after my Broken Skull Sessions interview with The Undertaker aired, and out of the blue, Chris Jericho reached out and said, ‘Man, that was a great interview. I sent him back a couple of those emojis, one of a beer mug and the other of an eagle, and then he called me right then and there.

We got to talking. I’ve always respected the hell out of his career, and I’m glad they’re around — it gives the guys and girls in professional wrestling more places to work. I said, ‘I’d love to have you on the show.’ And he said he’d love to do it, so I checked with Vince about it.”

Austin also stated that Vince McMahon had no issue with Jericho making an appearance for his show.

“I texted Vince and said we had this badass idea about Jericho coming on the show. Vince goes, ‘It’s cool. Go ahead.’ But me and Vince don’t always do well with phones and texts and all that, so I texted one more time, ‘Are you sure it’s OK to have Chris Jericho on the show?’ Vince gave me the thumbs up, and Chris came out to do the show.”

In regards to AEW, Sports Illustrated reported in the same interview that AEW CEO Tony Khan gave his approval for Jericho’s appearance on Austin’s show.
