Chris Jericho has been with All Elite Wrestling since the company launched in 2019. Jericho is the inaugural AEW World Champion in Tony Khan’s company. In the past five years, he has helped build AEW and elevated numerous young talents.
The Ocho hasn’t been involved in any storylines since Kenny Omega’s absence. Jericho last competed this past Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, where he and Hook defeated Gates of Agony.
In an interview with Gabby AF, Chris Jericho said he can perform well in any given show.
“I don’t really think about that sort of thing; I kind of live in the now. We talk about being 33 years in wrestling, and I’m like, ‘Wow, really?’ It doesn’t feel that way because I can still have the best match on any given show. Not every night, but a couple of weeks ago, I wrestled [Konosuke] Takeshita on Dynamite, and it was the best on the show. There are still great moments for Jericho, and a lot I can do. I don’t shut the door on anything.”
Chris Jericho also noted that WWE has changed a lot in the past seven years. Jericho added that he doesn’t have any reason to leave AEW.
“To me, WWE isn’t the be-all-end-all. It was great to be there. I had a great 20 years there, but I’ve had a great going-on five years in AEW. I love working here. I love working with, not even for, with Tony Khan. WWE is a completely different animal now than when I left in 2017. It’s been six years. It’s not something I’ve really thought about. I like watching and reading about what’s going on, and the buzz that they have, but I also like my company, and I helped start AEW. I don’t really see any reason why I would want to leave at this point. Never say that I wouldn’t go, but I have zero plans for 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, but it’s a different vibe, and I have a lot of fun here in AEW.”
