He’ll take on Ricky Starks on the AEW Revolution pay-per-view, which is coming up on Sunday, March 5. It was like ‘oh my gosh, this is the fun side of wrestling again!”īusiness is business and there’s always ups and downs, but I have zero interest in ever going back to WWE.įor now, the 52-year-old Jericho remains very much a big attraction as a wrestler. I never thought that I wouldn’t finish my career with WWE, but things happened, and I was just like ‘I want to go to Japan and do this match ’ and it opened up a whole new world for me.

While he still holds the people running WWE in high regard (“I love Vince and I love Hunter and all the people there.”), now that he’s been part of AEW since its inception, he’s too invested to see himself leaving. Jericho has long maintained that he left WWE on good terms and could see himself returning for one last run in the future. He’s more certain of where he wants to be right now. That’s fun for me, but to exclusively do just that? I don’t know. When we have Dynamite, I get there at 1 and leave at 11 or 12 – it’s non-stop, all the time. There’s a lot of stuff I do backstage at AEW. Right now, I do enjoy the backstage role of helping guys and girls out with their interviews and promos. I could quit tomorrow, or I could quit in six years, I don’t know. I don’t know what the future of me and wrestling is. Debuted in 1990 in Calgary after training in the Hart Family Dungeon.

While he admitted that his in-ring days could be ending sooner rather than later and that he doesn’t see himself as a full-time agent down the road, he’s enjoying himself too much in his current role in AEW to put a date on any retirement plans. American-born, Canadian-raised professional wrestler, rock singer, actor and author. Jericho made that clear in a recent interview with the UK’s Daily Star. There’s just one thing he isn’t sure of, even now: when he’s going to stop wrestling. He’s wrestled all over the world, won titles in the biggest promotions, been equally effective as a face or a hell, and has even made the career transition from cruiserweight to heavyweight.

There aren’t too many active wrestlers who know more than Chris Jericho.
