AEW President Tony Khan says he would love to have Chris Jericho back “if and when the time presents itself”

During a media call to promote the 2025 ROH Death Before Dishonor event, AEW President Tony Khan was asked if there are plans to bring Chris Jericho back to the company. Here was Khan’s response…

“It’s a great question. I certainly could talk for a long time. I mentioned earlier being verbose, and I have to think Chris Jericho is one of the greatest and most important people ever in AEW and has been a great two-time ROH Champion. For somebody that’s won nine world championships in the sport of pro wrestling, Chris Jericho—it’s incredible to say—but he has achieved so much in so many different promotions. And when you talk about him, you could talk about companies all over the world. But certainly, we wouldn’t be as fortunate to be in this position—I would never be where I am in AEW without Chris Jericho, nor would we be in a position where I could have bought ROH. So, I’m very grateful to Chris. I think the world of Chris, and I would love to have Chris back.”

“I’ve been a fan of Chris since I was a very, very young kid—since I was 12 years old. I would count Chris among my very favorite wrestlers for the past 30 years, and I’m very fortunate to work with him. So, if and when the time presents itself, I would love to have Chris back. I think the world of him, and Chris Jericho is always held in the highest regard with me, with AEW, and with ROH—where he has been a great champion, a great ambassador, a great leader, and a great friend to all of us. Chris Jericho is a huge part of our companies.”
