Chris Jericho comments on Edge potentially coming to AEW.
Edge’s future has been up in the air in recent weeks. He wrestled in the last match of his current WWE contract on the August 18 episode of WWE SmackDown. His deal was set to expire in September, and he stated that he had a contract extension waiting in his inbox. However, Edge noted that he was unsure about his future.
Speaking with Josh Martinez on Superstar Crossover, Jericho was asked to share his thoughts on the value that someone like Edge could bring to AEW.
“Who’s to say for sure?” Jericho said. “But if you look at Chris Jericho, for example. Where I was in WWE, there really wasn’t much more that I could do there. You’re there for many years, and you’ve wrestled everybody, and it’s great. But it’s always good to shock people and to show up with a new kind of mission. So I think somebody like Edge, there’s a lot of guys who are like this, they’ve kind of done everything they can do there. For him to come to AEW, it’d be a whole fresh new coat of paint.
“Whole new roster of matches that he could have, obviously a new name. Which would then, knowing him, knowing me, what I would do is a whole new look, a whole new mindset. So that’s the best thing about having AEW and about us being as successful as we are. There’s now a visible alternative. I don’t want to say competitor because it’s not that. But you can now go to either company.”
On AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, Chris Jericho will face Sammy Guevara. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs.
