Current AEW Star and former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho is no doubt one of the most accomplished and popular pro wrestlers to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. He has competed in several promotions such as WCW, WWE, ECW, New Japan Pro Wrestling and AEW among others. Chris Jericho also previously dropped a major return bombshell.
Chris Jericho also competed in quite a few matches in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, starting from his IWGP United States Championship against Kenny Omega back in 2018 to his matches for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship with Tetsuya Naito. He also squared off against Hiroshi Tanahashi back in 2020.
Chris Jericho put his entire in-ring career on the line on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, as he is more than determined to defeat MJF at AEW All Out. Many fans started wondering what will become of Chris Jericho if he actually loses.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer revealed that Chris Jericho has a three-year contract with AEW with an option to make it four years, so he isn’t quitting AEW for WWE anytime soon.
“There’s a one-year option so, in a sense it’s up at the end of next year. So, a year- -and-a-half basically left.”
It is not known if Chris Jericho will go to WWE if he ever leaves AEW.
