All Elite Wrestling was announced in 2019, and Chris Jericho has been with the company ever since. Jericho managed to become the first ever AEW World Champion and he is the current ROH World Champion.
Throughout his run with All Elite Wrestling, Chris Jericho has worked with a variety of different wrestlers, but he recently explained to Chris Van Vliet that he doesn’t choose his opponents.
“I don’t choose anything. I might have a suggestion, but most of the time it’s Tony coming up with who he wants me to work with. I know for example with Mark Briscoe, both of us wanted to work with each other, and knew we could have some great matches. I loved working with Mark and what a great kind of mini-feud, or I guess it was a feud. It was a couple of months long. So that was something that we both wanted to do and suggested to Tony.”
“But most of the time, this whole thing that started working with Rated FTR, that was Tony’s idea. So yeah, I still work for my boss, and I have never once as far as I can remember in the six years I’ve been in AEW ever said no to something. I might not like something, but I got to try and do my best to make it work or maybe come up with something that maybe is a better idea as long as the boss likes it. If the boss wants to do what he wants to do then that’s my job. So that’s what we do.”
