All Elite Wrestling has come a long way over the last few years and Chris Jericho is one AEW star who has been with the company from the beginning. Jericho created a lot of buzz when he signed with AEW, and he recently explained why he decided to go all in with the company on ESPN’s Sedano & Kap.
“Do you realize how much money it costs to start a wrestling company? Do you realize how hard it is to find fresh, exciting talent that hasn’t been around the block? Do you realize how hard it is to get a television deal with a network? Tony Khan did realize that, and after talking to him I thought, ‘Wow, there might actually be something to this,’ and that’s kind of what really started attracting me to it.”
“That really appealed to me to start working with Tony because I knew if AEW was a success, we could change the course of wrestling history.”
After signing with the promotion Chris Jericho went on to become the first ever AEW World Champion and he is the current ROH World Champion. It was recently announced that Jericho signed a deal with AEW that will keep him with the company through 2025.
