Chris Jericho Reveals How He Wants To End His Career

For many years Chris Jericho was a WWE guy, but he’s been All Elite since 2019. Jericho has been featured as one of the top stars in AEW since the company first launched, and it doesn’t seem like he has any intentions of leaving.

Recently Chris Jericho spoke to the Daily Star about his future plans and he indicated that he plans to finish his professional wrestling career as a member of the AEW roster.

“I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. I don’t hold a torch for WWE. To me, that’s not ‘the place to be’. AEW is the place to be. It really is. I’ve been in WWE. I know how it works. They work that way, I don’t care if Vince is there, Hunter is there, or whoever is there. They have a way of doing things, and I was there for 20 years and was pretty good at it. I like the way we do things at AEW better… so I don’t know why I wouldn’t want to finish my career in AEW.

“I never thought that I wouldn’t finish my career with WWE, but things happened, and I was just like ‘I want to go to Japan and do this match [with NJPW]’ and it opened up a whole new world for me. It was like ‘oh my gosh, this is the fun side of wrestling again!”

Chris Jericho went on to say that he loves Vince McMahon and Triple H, but he’s not interested in returning to WWE when he added, “Business is business and there’s always ups and downs, but I have zero interest in ever going back to WWE. That’s not out of bitterness or anger. I love Vince and I love Hunter and all the people there. But I just really dig AEW, and I have a stake in the game. I came here right out of the gate – I was the guy. Besides Jim Ross, there was nobody that had really been on television on a national basis other than me. I take great pride in that. I started here, why would I want to walk away? There’s so much more that we can do. The sense of accomplishment is massive.”
