Chris Jericho On If AEW Is A Better Company Than It Was A Month Ago

Last month the biggest show in the history of AEW took place from Wembley Stadium when the All In pay-per-view aired live. It was a big night for the company, but coming out of the event one of the things people were talking about the most was CM Punk’s backstage altercation with Jack Perry.

Ahead of the All Out pay-per-view the following weekend Tony Khan confirmed that CM Punk’s AEW contract had been terminated and now the company is moving forward without the former AEW World Champion.

During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Chris Jericho was asked if he thinks AEW is a better company than it was a month ago. CM Punk’s name was not specifically mentioned, but Jericho responded with confidence when he said, “Yes, yes, absolutely.”

Jericho then went on to talk about the people involved who are motivated to grow the company when he added, “The short answer is yes. There’s also other people that are higher up in the company, we’re working together to suggest, and the thing with AEW is, we grew so fast. Look at our company now. Look at the infrastructure. I was reading WWE layoffs the other day, and there’s people, I’m like, what is this position? I don’t even know what this means. WWE has such a huge infrastructure. We do not. We need to grow that. But who’s the right people? We’ve got to identify the place where we need a little bit of growth and go from there. Tony is very organized, and Tony’s very passionate. But once again, here we are four years in. There’s a lot of stuff that none of us know. We’ve never ran our own company before, but we learned a lot from Vince. Tony’s Tony, Vince was Vince. You have to work within the boss’s system. It all rests in what Tony Khan want to do. What Tony Khan wants to do is continue to grow AEW. That’s what Chris Jericho wants to do, that’s what Bryan Danielson wants to do, that’s what Jon Moxley wants to do. So we’re all working together to patch up maybe some of the holes and continue to build this wall higher and higher and higher. To me, to see that growth so quickly is a little bit scary. We’re now figuring out what we need to do to continue to grow.”
