A few months ago Chris Jericho officially announced that he had signed with All Elite Wrestling, and the former WWE Champion is set to face Kenny Omega at Double Or Nothing net month.
Everyone’s waiting to see what the future holds for AEW in regards to a TV deal, and Chris Jericho recently told Cheddar that an announcement is going to be made very soon.
“May 25th is the first show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. We sold it out in four minutes, 12,000 tickets. So there’s a lot of buzz about AEW, and in the Fall, we’re gonna be starting our weekly television on a huge cable company that we’re gonna be announcing very soon so, it’s not a competition, it’s just an alternative and it’s something that I think people and wrestling fans are waiting for because it’s been a long time with just the WWE, just one company.”
Jericho also talked about his reasons for joining AEW and he pointed out that working with the company gives him the opportunity to do something he’s never done before.
“It was just the right move for me knowing that I would be doing something that I had never done before, which was starting a company from scratch.”
Where do you think AEW will land when the TV deal is announced? Sound off in the comments below.
