Tony Khan isn’t ready to let go of Chris Jericho just yet.
In an interview with The Sportster AEW President Tony Khan said that he thinks that Chris Jericho would be welcome to return to AEW and said that the door is always open.
Khan said: “Yeah, I think Chris is certainly one of the most important stars ever in AEW. He’s the first-ever AEW World Champion. And for me, I think Chris is one of the very foundational stars from the very beginning of the company. If possible, I’d love to have Chris back as soon as possible. We’ll see when Chris returns, but I think Chris is someone we always love having in AEW, and the door is always open for his return. He’s been a big star for us, and he also has a lot of things going on outside of pro wrestling. Whether it’s acting or his music career, he’s doing a lot of great things,” Khan said. “But when he’s in AEW, he’s always been a key piece and a multiple-time world champion across multiple promotions, including AEW. So definitely always thinking the best of Chris, and uh, would be excited to get his return.“
Chris Jericho hasn’t appeared on AEW television since April and his contract is rumored to expire at the end of the year.
