Variety just reported that former AEW and current Ring of Honor Champion Chris Jericho has signed a contract extension with the company that would bring him through 2025 with AEW.
Commenting on the new deal, Jericho stated, “I guess the simple answer is ‘Why not?' Things have been going so well in the company, and I really do feel that this is my company. It’s tattooed on my heart, so to speak. I’ve been here since day one, and there’s really no reason not to be here continuing forward. When AEW first started, I think basically it was Chris Jericho and a group of very talented people that might not have been as well known. Within three months that changed and now within three years, we’ve got at least a dozen, maybe two dozen, of our own homegrown stars that came into their own on AEW television.”
One would think AEW will be issuing their own announcement on the new Jericho deal shortly.
The Jericho signing follows the recent announcement that current AEW Champion Jon Moxley has signed a new five year deal that takes him through 2027.
