Jericho leaving because of AEWtists
“He was their world champion when they jumped out of the box that first year. To me, jumping out of the box really strong was Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, and Chris Jericho. Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks right underneath. Historically, he’s a super important guy. I think there would be a part of him that wants to stay. But I think if the AEW fan base didn’t turn on him, I don’t think we’re having this discussion at all. But they did. And the reality is they did on Cody, Cody left, and look what happened.”
